A pulmonary infiltrate is a substance denser than air, such as pus, blood, or protein, which lingers within the parenchyma of the lungs. Pulmonary infiltrates are associated with pneumonia, tuberculosis, and nocardiosis. Pulmonary infiltrates can be observed on a chest radiograph.
Focal and multifocal lung diseases are classified into seven categories on the basis of chest radiography and CT: (1) focal pulmonary infiltrates, (2) multifocal pulmonary infiltrates, (3) true segmental infiltrates, (4) cavitary infiltrates, (5) single small nodules, (6) large masses, and (7) multiple nodules.
