(a) Portable supine CXR shows intubated patient with dense consolidation in bilateral middle and lower zones. There is relative sparing of the upper zones and costophrenic recesses. There is no associated pleural effusion. (b) Axial CECT image across the middle zone of the lungs shows consolidation with air bronchograms throughout the affected lobes, particularly bilateral lower lobes. The more anterior segments show some degree of organizing consolidation (arrow). As with other cases in our series, there is absence of pleural effusions or adenopathy in the mediastinum (not shown). This pattern of confluent consolidation was a less typical observation.
