“…PE occurring in single or multiple areas on chest x-rays may be seen in infective pneumonia, acute interstitial pneumonitis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Furthermore, consolidation seen in the upper lobes can be interpreted as tuberculosis [8]. Important factors greatly influencing the distribution of PE are pulmonary circulation and capillary hydrostatic pressure [6,9].…”

A 25-year-old woman was diagnosed with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. During laparoscopic surgery, the patient was in the Trendelenberg position (20° degrees). Massive froth in the endotracheal tube was observed at the end of surgery. A portable chest x-ray, checked at the end of the operation, showed diffuse haziness in both upper lung fields. After one hour of aggressive treatment with drugs and positive mechanical ventilation, the amount of froth in the endotracheal tube was reduced considerably. Considering the symptom and radiologic findings, we concluded that diffuse bilateral upper lung field haziness was due to atypical pulmonary edema. We speculated that the rapid improvement of pulmonary edema was due to redistribution of fluid to the lowest part of lung by immediate reversing the patient's Trendelenberg position, along with aggressive treatment.

“…A clinicopathologic syndrome, BOOP has been linked to a variety of systemic illnesses, including drug reactions [93]. The most common radiographic abnormality, bilateral airspace consolidation, may be confused with pneumonia.…”

Uncertainty over the expected clinical course of a community-acquired or nosocomial pneumonia is a common reason for pulmonary consultation. Determining which patients with prolonged pneumonia and at what point during therapy they should undergo further evaluation can be challenging. This article reviews "normal" resolution times for the most common pneumonias, risk factors for delayed resolution, and infectious and noninfectious conditions that can cause nonresolving pneumonia. An approach to the evaluation of the patient with this common problem is described.
