Comparison of chest imaging:. A) Anteroposterior Chest X-ray at admission: infiltration of the right upper lobe associated with a cavity.. B) Computed tomography (CT) of thorax without contrast at admission: consolidation associated with cavitation.. C) Anteroposterior Chest X-ray after 14 days of antibiotic therapy: significant decrease of pulmonary consolidation and presence of a residual cavity of 10 cm diameter.

The anteroposterior (AP) chest x-ray (Fig. 1A) showed pulmonary consolidation in the right upper lobe (RUL) with a cavity. Chest, abdomen and pelvic CT (Fig. 1B) showed RUL consolidation associated with septated cavitation. Repeat chest x-ray at 2 weeks (Fig. 1C) showed dramatic decrease of the pulmonary consolidation with residual 10 cm cavity.
