Lp infections often present with patchy infiltrates and pleural effusion.[ 28 ] All types of infiltrates, including interstitial and nodular, can occur in L p and are not pathognomonic.[ 28 ] In a study by Dagan et al .[ 27 ] in the cohort of Lp HAP cases ( n = 36), there was a significantly higher likelihood of having bilateral findings (opacities, pleural effusions) in chest radiography; however, those differences did not reach statistical significance on CT scans.
