Overview
Chest X-Ray in patients with pulmonary histoplasmosis demonstrate hilar lymphadenopathy and occasionally pulmonary nodules.
Chest X Ray
- Most patients with histoplasmosis (up to 70%) are thought to have normal chest radiographs.[1]
- Acute histoplasmosis may be associated with airspace shadowing with consolidation involving multiple lung segments or lobes similar to bacterial pneumonia.
- Chest radiographs may also demonstrate enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. [2][3][4]
- Pleural effusions are also possible, but uncommon.[5]
- Patients with chronic histoplasmosis may present with pulmonary nodules.[2]
