1) The document discusses various lung infections (infecciones pulmonares) including bacterial, viral, and fungal pneumonias.
2) It provides details on the typical radiographic manifestations of different pathogen types, such as lobar or lobular opacities for streptococcal pneumonia and cavitating nodules for staphylococcal infections.
3) CT findings are also summarized, like the centrilobular nodules and ground-glass opacities seen with influenza virus pneumonia.

The following section will examine the basic “alveolar” pattern
(Fig. 3.5). First, the radiologic term “alveolar shadow” requires
some explanation. “Alveolar” describes changes leading to in-
creased attenuation in the region of the alveoli or caused by dis-
orders of the alveolar space. Causes include:
" Intra-alveolar edema (Fig. 3.6)
" Inflammatory alveolar congestion (Fig. 3.8)
" Other consolidation of the alveolar space such as proteinosis or
tumor spread (Fig. 3.7)

patient is a 76-year-old man with a history of many years of COPD. Status post pul-
monary tuberculosis in the postwar years. Preoperative chest image in the presence
of rectal carcinoma. A solid lobulated mass measuring 3 cm in diameter and largely
surrounded by air is seen within a thin-walled cavity in the severely scarred right
upper lobe.
Fig. 3.55 “Foolʼs cap bell” in aspergilloma (detail). The patient is a 79-year-old
man with severe COPD and emphysema, now presenting with dyspnea, fever, and
productive cough. In addition to extensive bronchopneumonia of the right upper
lobe, the radiograph also demonstrates a mass 4 cm in diameter with an apical air
crescent (white arrows).

by hyphae leads to local infarction and cavitation. Here, hyphae later grow to the
fungus ball. In a secondary aspergilloma (left diagrams), a preexisting cavity is colo-
nized by hyphae.
