Overview
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of a patient with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia demonstrates signs of bronchospasm, consolidation, and fluid accumulation.
- The prevalence and severity of these findings depends on the extent of parenchymal involvement and the subtype of organizing pneumonia.[1]
Sign | Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia | Secondary Organizing Pneumonia | Focal Organizing Pneumonia |
---|---|---|---|
Tachypnea | 65% | 70% | - |
Crackles | 85% | 95% | 10% |
Wheezing | 10% | 10% | 10% |
Clubbing | - | 5% | - |
Cyanosis | 5% | 5% | - |
