Imaging appearance of swine-origin influenza A (novel 2009 H1N1) pneumonia in an immunocompromised patient

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) predicted a resurgence of Swine-origin Influenza A (novel 2009 H1N1) pneumonia, hospitalizations and deaths during the 2009-2010 flu season. Immunocompromised patients are at higher risk to contract it and may present (atypically) with greater morbidity and mort...

description The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) predicted a resurgence of Swine-origin Influenza A (novel 2009 H1N1) pneumonia, hospitalizations and deaths during the 2009-2010 flu season. Immunocompromised patients are at higher risk to contract it and may present (atypically) with greater morbidity and mortality. We report the first radiographic description of CDC-confirmed swine-origin influenza A (novel 2009 H1N1) in a 32-year-old immunocompromised man. At presentation, chest radiographs demonstrated bilateral, ill-defined nodular airspace opacities. Chest CT showed upper-lobe-predominant, patchy ground-glass opacities with areas of consolidation and a thick-walled cavity.
