Case
Summary
Diagnosis: Pneumococcal Pneumonia
Clinical hints:
Typical "lobar" consolidation is not commonly seen today. The
clinical picture is one of pneumonia, but the x-ray will
seldom indicate the specific etiologic agent.
Radiological Pearls:
- classic air-space consolidation
- lobar or segmental, classically
- usually non-specific changes
- effusion common
