Overview
On Chest X-ray, Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is characterized by bilateral multifocal consolidations that are not segmental, reticulonodular opacities, bronchial wall thickening, and the presence of multiple nodules.
Chest X-ray
- Interlobular septal thickening with or without associated peripheral ground glass opacities or consolodation
- Transient opacities
- Symmetrical opacities in axillary and peripheral distribution
- Hilar adenopathy
- Diffuse interstitial or miliary opacities
- Pulmonary hemorrhage
- Nodular disease (without cavitation)
- Pleural effusions (30%) – exudative and eosinophilic
