TB
This patient presented first with the CXR on the left.
The findings are:
Widespread ill-defined densities, which are probably small consolidations.
Cavity in the right upper lobe.
We can assume that this is reactivation of a latent TB.
Culture was positive for TB.
A CXR some years later on the right shows:
Right upper lobe atelectasis
Deviation of the trachea
Scarring and cavitation of the remnants of the upper lobe
In left upper lobe minimal fibrosis and cavitation.
This is better appreciated on a CT. #Clinical #Radiology #CXR #Tuberculosis #TB #Active #SecondaryTB #Cavitary #RadiologyAssistant
