Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the findings on plain chest radiographs in patients with herpes simplex virus pneumonia (HSVP). The radiologist may suggest the diagnosis of HSVP when bilateral airspace consolidation or mixed opacities appear in a susceptible group of patients who are not thought to have ARDS or pulmonary edema. Each chest radiograph was evaluated for the following findings: pattern of lung opacities (airspace consolidation, interstitial opacities, or mixed); location (unilateral, bilateral, focal, diffuse) and extent (segmental, lobar, whole lung) of the abnormalities; atelectasis (not-present, lobar, segmental, subsegmental); pleural effusion (not present, moderate, i.e., less than one-third of the hemithorax, large, i.e., more than one-third of the hemithorax). ./cache/cord-006565-5c14oqn4.txt ./txt/cord-006565-5c14oqn4.txt
