High-resolution computed tomography findings of pulmonary tuberculosis in lung transplant recipients
OBJECTIVE Respiratory infections constitute a major cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. The incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis is high among such patients. On imaging, tuberculosis has various presentations. Greater understanding of those presentations could reduce the impact of the disease by facilitating early diagnosis. Therefore, we attempted to describe ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution computed tomography findings in hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.
The hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is an acute, rapidly progressive disease transmitted by rodent excreta, with endothelial damage playing a central role in the pathophysiology. It usually affects rural workers. The lung itself is the target organ and reflects all the patterns of endothelial involvement of this disease. The radiologic findings of HPS are vast and range from a mild intersti...

متن کاملHigh resolution computed tomographic findings in pulmonary tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Although chest radiographs usually provide adequate information for the diagnosis of active pulmonary tuberculosis, minimal exudative tuberculosis can be overlooked on standard chest radiographs. The aim of the present study was to assess the findings of active pulmonary tuberculosis on high resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) scans, and to evaluate their possible use in determini...
متن کاملChest High Resolution Computed Tomography Findings in Connective Tissue Diseases
BACKGROUND Lung disorders are important for prognosis of connective tissue disease (CTD). Thus, chest radiography, High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) of the chest and ultrasonic echocardiogram are suggested after the diagnosis of these conditions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate chest HRCT findings in patients with CTD. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this descriptive cross-section...
