Overview
Chest X Ray
- Most patients with histoplasmosis (up to 70%) are thought to have normal chest radiographs.[1]
- The particular imaging features are related to the timeline of presentation and the patient's ability to mount an immune response.
- 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]
- Pleural effusions are also possible, but uncommon.[3]
- Patients with chronic histoplasmosis may present with pulmonary nodules.[2]
