Overview
Chest X-ray findings in HIV/AIDS are related to the development of opportunistic lung infections. They include ground-glass infiltrates suggestive of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, lobar consolidation, pleural effusions, loculated empyemas, and lymphadenopathy.
Chest X Ray Findings
Chest X-ray findings in HIV/AIDS are related to the development of opportunistic lung infections. Common findings include:[1]
- Diffuse ground-glass infiltrates
- Suggestive of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia
- Nodular infiltrates
- Suggestive of bacterial or fungal pneumonia
- Lobar/segmental consolidation
- Suggestive of bacterial or fungal pneumonia
- Pleural effusion
- Suggestive of empyema, parapneumonic effusion, tuberculous effusion, and malignant effusion
- Lobar consolidation
- Suggestive of bacterial or fungal pneumonia
- Hilar lymphadenopathy
- Suggestive of tuberculosis, malignancy, or may be secondary to HIV induced lymphadenopathy
- Cavitation
- Suggestive of tuberculosis, fungal infection, or necrotizing pneumonia
- Mass lesion
- Suggestive of malignancy, tuberculosis, or fungal infection
