Computed tomography image from case #2. Transverse image at the level of the mid-scapula (*). Within the dorsal aspect of the right cranial lung lobe there are areas of pulmonary consolidation with relatively well-defined margins. ( <) The patient is contained in a fitted box. Image displayed C:320 W2800. Slice thickness 0.69 mm, 120 kV, 139 mA. The pulmonary changes could represent mycobacteriosis as the pulmonary parenchyma was positive on PCR. The distribution of the consolidation, the timeframe of event, and the evolution of the consolidation on the repeat CT would not be considered usual for either aspiration pneumonia nor pulmonary atelectasis
