Overview
Chest X-ray is an extremely common procedure done to evaluate the organs located in the chest area i.e. lungs, heart, and chest wall. It also helps in diagnosing the cause of various symptoms. (for example persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest pain or injury, and fever)
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
