Overview

X-rays of psittacosis patients show lobar consolidation, patchy infiltrates, a diffuse whiteout of the lung field, or pleural effusions.

Chest X-Ray

  • Infiltrates may also be seen. These changes are observed more frequently in the lower lobes of the lungs.[1]
  • Approximately one-quarter of patients have multilobar changes, and slightly fewer have a normal chest radiograph.[2]
  • Migratory infiltrates have also been described.[3]
