“…Cavities were most commonly located in the upper lobes and accompanied by infiltrates and pleural thickening. Another review of cases of pulmonary histoplasmosis presenting to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, from 1964 to 1974 reported that only 5/269 (1.8%) patients had pulmonary cavitation (72). The chronicity of infection in the Mayo Clinic series was not reported.…”

SUMMARY A pulmonary cavity is a gas-filled area of the lung in the center of a nodule or area of consolidation and may be clinically observed by use of plain chest radiography or computed tomography. Cavities are present in a wide variety of infectious and noninfectious processes. This review discusses the differential diagnosis of pathological processes associated with lung cavities, focusing on infections associated with lung cavities. The goal is to provide the clinician and clinical microbiologist with an overview of the diseases most commonly associated with lung cavities, with attention to the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of the host.

“…A focal or diffuse reticulonodular pattern, linear and irregular opacities that progress rapidly to segmental, lobar, or diffuse areas of consolidation, make up the second pattern. Pleural effusions are infrequent, and lymphadenopathy is rarely seen in disseminated disease [47,48] .…”
