Overview
The chest X-Ray findings for Pertussis can reveal abnormalities in the lungs as a response to the disease, including pulmonary fluid and collapse, as well as lymphadenopathy.
Key Chest X-Ray Findings in Pertussis
- Chest Radiography for patients with Pertussis can reveal perihilar infiltrates or edema with variable degrees of atelectasis; sourced from fluid buildup and lung trauma due to the violent, paroxysmal cough spasms.[1]
- Radiographic abnormalities can be commonly found in Pertussis patients, including the following:[2]
- Pulmonary consolidation
- Pulmonary collapse
- Lymphadenopathy
- Abnormal chest X-Ray findings are more common in patients older than 1 years old.[2]
- Pneumothorax, Pneumomediastinum, or air in the soft tissues may be revealed by chest X-Ray due to Pertussis.[2]
