Abstract: The most common HRCT findings in our patient sample were air-space consolidation, small centrilobular nodules and ground-glass opacities, most often in the central and peripheral regions of the middle and lower lung zones.

“…Consolidation of s7, s8, s7+s8, s9, and s10 was a negative factor in our model. This is in accordance with the high frequency of bacterial pneumonia in the lower lobe (73.3%) as reported by Coelho et al [37]. Meanwhile, Yeh et al [8] reported that only 16% (13/84) of smear-positive and 15% (6/40) of smear-negative culture-positive PTB patients had consolidation in s7, s8, s7+s8, s9, or s10.…”

“…Therefore, patients with febrile neutropenia with no evidence of pneumonia on CXR should have HR-CAT scans (91, 92). The most common HR-CAT scan findings in recipients of HSCT having pneumonia are air-space consolidation, micronodular shadows, and ground-glass opacities involving middle and lower lung fields (93). A study that included 112 patients with HM and recipients of HSCT having febrile neutropenia showed the following results: sensitivity of HR-CAT scans in detecting pneumonia in patients with febrile neutropenia and in recipients of HSCT was 87 and 88%, specificity was 57 and 67%, respectively, while negative predictive values were 88 and 97%, respectively (92).…”

“…Airspace consolidations were present in 18 (60%), followed by small centrilobular nodules (15 patients, 50%), ground-glass opacities (12 patients, 40%), bronchial wall thickening (6 patients, 20%), large nodules (6 patients, 20%), pleural effusions (5 patients, 16.7%), and tree-in-bud infiltrates (3 patients, 10%). 35 Fungal pneumonia is caused by filamentous fungi, and Aspergillus species are the leading etiologic agents. 36 Three images are suggestive of invasive mold pneumonia: the halo sign (a > 1-cm nodule with ground-glass infiltrates surrounding the nodule), image with the "air crescent" sign, and cavitary lesions.…”
