Differential diagnosis of pulmonary infections in immunocompromised patients using high-resolution computed tomography

ConclusionsHRCT findings are potentially useful for the differential diagnosis of some pulmonary infections in immunocompromised patients.Key Points• Differential diagnosis of pulmonary infections in immunocompromised patients could be established with the help of high-resolution computed tomography.• Bronchial wall thickening was a significant indicator for bacterial pneumonia.• The presence of a mosaic pattern and the absence of nodules were significant indicators for pneumocystis pneumonia.
