Overview
On chest X-rays, Q fever is characterized by either signs of atypical pneumonia (hazy, non-localized airspace opacities), or in fewer cases, signs of typical pneumonia (lobar consolidation and occasional pleural effusions).
Chest X-Ray
- In acute Q fever, X-ray may show signs of atypical pneumonia (hazy, non-localized airspace opacities) and in some cases, it shows all the signs of typical pneumonia (lobar consolidation and occasional pleural effusions)
- In chronic Q fever, interstitial fiibrosis can be seen.
