4. The chest radiograph shows multifocal ground-glass opacity and cavitary consolidation

The chest radiograph shows multifocal, bilateral areas of ground-glass opacity and consolidation associated with a background of reticulation and linear opacities. The opacities are distributed in the perihilar region, and are unassociated with pleural effusions. The lung volumes are normal, which argues against the presence of fibrotic lung disease. No cystic change or cavitation is present. Discrete pulmonary nodules are not seen.

Which of the following is an appropriate consideration among the differential diagnostic possibilities for the appearance of the patient’s chest radiograph?

  1. Acute atypical infection
  2. Chemotherapy-induced pulmonary injury
  3. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage
  4. Increased pressure edema
  5. All of the above
