Chest X-ray

Chest X-ray in patients with aplastic anemia may show:

• Bilateral multiple ground glass opacities (due to atypical bacterial infection)
• Consolidations (due to bacterial pneumonia)
• Pulmonary nodules (due to fungal infection)
• Pulmonary edema (due to circulatory overload from frequent transfusions)
• Kerley B lines (due to cardiac failure from excess pulmonary congestion)
