Confluent airspace opacity in the right upper and mid-zones consistent with infection.
Case Discussion
Pediatric patients do not usually present with confluent airspace disease as a result of infection. Infection is usually viral and causes rather non-specific findings, such as peribronchial thickening and patchy airspace infiltrate.
