Caption:
This left lateral chest x-ray revealed the presence of pulmonary pathology, including extensive patchy and nodular infiltrates. Though these changes were caused by a case of pneumonic plague, brought on by a Yersinia pestis infection, these findings could also be compatible with cardiac failure, extensive bronchopneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, or Goodpasture syndrome. See PHIL 20535, for an x-ray created the same day, depicting a anteroposterior view of this patients bilateral lung fields, and PHIL 20537, for a view of this patient’s bilateral lung fields, just one day before this image was created, revealing what appeared to be normal bilateral lung fields.
