Figure 2 Computed tomography (CT) of the chest was obtained. (A) An initial study demonstrated airspace opacities in the right lower and middle lobes—these produced air bronchograms. (B) A study obtained 3 months after the patient's initial chest CT disclosed scattered right lower- and middle-lobe airspace opacities with peripheral nodules suggestive of tree-in-bud pattern. (C) Five months after the first chest CT was obtained, another study revealed dense consolidation of the left upper and lower lobes. Resolving right upper-lobe disease also was seen. (D) Ten months after the initial chest CT, nearly complete resolution of the infiltrates was noted. The American Journal of Medicine , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
