Right basal airspace opacification at the site of the malpositioned NG tube.
Case Discussion
The initial radiograph confirms the location of the NG tube in the right lower lobe. Despite not being used, 3 days later, pyrexia, signs of infection and clinical deterioration occurs.
Repeat radiograph demonstrates acute unilateral airspace opacification consistent with infection.
