Overview
Chest radiography in a patient with pulmonary cryptococcosis may show interstitial infiltrates or pleural effusion and hilar lymphadenopathy.
Chest X-Ray
- Chest radiography in a patient with pulmonary cryptococcosis may show interstitial infiltrates or pleural effusion and hilar lymphadenopathy.[1]
- Other, less common, findings that can be present on chest X-ray in patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis include:[2][3][4]
- Nonspecific segmental pneumonia
- Cavitation
- Hilar lymphadenopathy
- Pleural effusion
- Generalized miliary disease
