Overview

CT

Computed tomography can help characterize the distribution of opacities and guide selection of an area of involvement for bronchoalveolar lavage. [19].

Characteristic CT findings of CEP include: 43 61 63 64 65 61

  • Ground-glass attenuation
  • Consolidation
  • Nodules
  • Septal thickening
  • Pleural effusions
  • Thickening of bronchovascular bundles
  • The lesions usually involve the peripheral regions of the middle or upper lung zones.
  • The radiologic diagnosis of other causes of eosinophilic lung such as drug-induced pulmonary eosinophilia and hypereosinophilic syndrome is rarely possible.
  • Common CT findings of ABPA consist of bronchiectasis, mucous plugging, bronchial wall thickening, atelectasis, consolidation, areas of ground-glass attenuation, and upper and central lung predominance [61].
