[Roentgen changes in thoracic images in children given leucocyte concentrates].
The cardiac and pulmonary changes on chest X-ray of 12 children with a therapy of transfusions with granulocytes were analyzed. Elevation of the diaphragma was found in all children. In a high percentage we found cardiomegaly and large patchy infiltrations. In a smaller number there were small pleural effusions, interstitial shadows and at least alveolar infiltrations. The possible pathogenic mechanisms for the development of these X-ray changes are discussed and the value of the X-ray is defined.
