[X-ray manifestations of trichinosis on chest radiograph (analysis of 15 cases)].
This article reported the result of the chest radiographs of 14 patients with trichinosis, in regard to the X-ray manifestations, pathologic basis and clinical significance. The radiologic findings included hilar enlargement, exaggerated and fuzzy lung markings, and pulmonary patchy infiltrations of varying sizes as well as fine nodular shadows. The pathologic basis consisted of dilatation and congestion of pulmonary vessels and capillary beds and intrapulmonary hemorrhagic lesions. The pulmonary radiologic manifestations are helpful for estimating patient's prognosis.
