Overview

Chest X-ray findings in patients with pulmonary Mycobacterium abscessus infection include upper lobe infiltrates, cavitation, and/or patchy, reticulonodular, or mixed interstitial-alveolar opacities. The chest X-ray abnormalities can be bilateral or multilobal.[1][2]

Chest X-Ray

Patients with pulmonary M. abscessus infection might have the following findings on chest X-ray:[1][2]

  • Upper lobe infiltrates
  • Bilateral involvement of the lungs
  • Mulilobal involvement
  • Opacities (patchy, reticulonodular, or mixed interstitial-alveolar)
  • Cavitation
