Overview
The findings on chest x-ray are not consistent or highly specific for blastomycosis. No radiographic findings are absolutely diagnostic of blastomycosis.
Chest X-ray
- Consolidations with or without cavitations. Small pleural effusion's are relatively common. [2]
- Sometimes, pulmonary nodules simulating tuberculosis or cancers may be present.
- Mediastinal lymph node enlargement is not a consistent finding, but may be found occasionally.
This is AP chest X-ray demonstrating
- Hyperinflation of lungs on both sides
- Decreased lung volume on left side compared to right lung
- Reticular opacities in the right lower lobe
- Hilar lymphadenopathy on ride side of lung
- Mass with indefinite borders obscuring the architecture of pulmonary artery on left lung
