Overview

• A chest X-ray can be used to diagnose pneumonia, which is one of the complications of measles.

• The chest x-ray findings in patient with measles will be a patchy consolidation of lung lobes and poorly define nodules.

• Damage to the alveoli may occur in severe cases leading to dyspnea.
