Severe Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Things to look at: narrowed interspaces, haziness in left lower lung obscuring the left CP angle.

Miliary tuberculosis

Severe Pulmonary Tuberculosis by mjagbayani.

This is a chest x-ray of a 55 year old male previously treated for tuberculosis who presented with shortness of breath.

Notice the left hemithorax. The intercostal spaces are significantly narrowed, signifying that the left lung has pretty much collapsed. This could be due to fibrothorax (fibrosis of the pleura which causes lung restriction) and / or the lung parenchyma. Haziness in the left lower lung obscuring the left cardiophrenic angle could signify fibrosis, consolidation, or pleural effusion. The right lung has numerous nodular infiltrates due to miliary tuberculosis.

P.S. we would also be happy to use one of the other five Severe Pulmonary Tuberculosis images in "The Teaching Files: X-rays (Set)", if that was your preference.

Thanks,
