X Ray

Chest X-ray findings in HIV/AIDS are related to the development of opportunistic lung infections. Common findings include:[1]

  • Diffuse ground-glass infiltrates
  • Suggestive of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia
  • Nodular infiltrates
  • Suggestive of bacterial or fungal pneumonia
  • Lobar/segmental consolidation
  • Suggestive of bacterial or fungal pneumonia
  • Pleural effusion
  • Suggestive of empyema, parapneumonic effusion, tuberculous effusion, and malignant effusion
  • Lobar consolidation
  • Suggestive of bacterial or fungal pneumonia
  • Hilar lymphadenopathy
  • Suggestive of tuberculosis, malignancy, or may be secondary to HIV induced lymphadenopathy
  • Cavitation
  • Suggestive of tuberculosis, fungal infection, or necrotizing pneumonia
  • Mass lesion
  • Suggestive of malignancy, tuberculosis, or fungal infection
