Pulmonary Infections in the Normal Host 2020-06-22 .txt text/plain 10838 714 40 The radiographic appearance of bronchopneumonia pneumonia is most frequently that of multiple, ill-defined nodular opacities that are patchy but that may eventually become confluent and produce consolidation with airspace opacification (Fig. 3-4) . Klebsiella pneumonia (Box 3-5) usually occurs in middle-aged or elderly patients, in those with underlying chronic lung disease, and in alcoholic individuals. Clinical features include acute febrile illness without pneumonia; systemic disease with primarily pulmonary manifestations; a peak incidence in patients older than 60 years; a predisposition in smokers and those with alcoholic liver disease; high fever, shaking chills, and cough with small amounts of mucoid sputum; pleuritic chest pain; watery diarrhea in about one half of patients; and headache. In the normal host, the most common finding is that of single or multiple pulmonary nodules that are approximately 1 to 5 cm in diameter and that usually occur in the lower lobes (Fig. 3-38) . ./cache/cord-027679-89yt6fzo.txt ./txt/cord-027679-89yt6fzo.txt
