Abstract:
Objective To study the conventional CT and HRCT manifestations of adult mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Methods Conventional CT and HRCT were performed in 16 adult patients with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia proven by serology. The CT images were retrospectively analyzed. Results Areas of ground glass opacity(GGO)were found in 12 cases. GGO showed lobular or patchy distribution in 9 cases. Air space consolidation was observed in 8 cases,"tree in bud" sign in 9,thickening of the interlobular septa in 3,and thickening of bronchovascular bundle in 1. 15 cases had two or more findings simultaneously. Conclusion Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia has some characteristic CT findings, which can help to distinguish it from bacterial pneumonia.
