X-rays and other interesting medical pictures


Pretty classic picture of TB. 20 y/o woman came in with months of productive cough, fevers, weight loss. Notice the cavitary lesions on both the left and the right, as well as infiltration of the right upper lobe.

Here are some interesting pics for the medical folks out there.

    That fracture finger made my hand hurt for some reason.

    I don't think you really need to do anything unless it becomes a pathologic fracture or starts to look like CA.

    After treatment with antibiotics, an "air-fluid" level developed on the left side and the fluid layered out on lateral decub film. Dr. Jim admitted the patient to surgery ward and placed a chest tube for drainage. Very strange presentation for empyema, as she had a normal WBC and no fever. Atypical presentation may be because she had been treated for cough with several courses of antibiotics.
