  		Fig. 2 . —30-year-old man with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.

A, Chest radiograph reveals coarse reticulation and thickening of bronchovascular bundles in right lower lobe.

  		Fig. 3 . —17-year-old boy with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. High-resolution CT scan (1.0-mm collimation) at level of right lower lobe reveals nodules smaller than 10 mm in diameter (arrows) in predominantly centrilobular distribution and areas of ground-glass attenuation. Note sharp demarcation between normal and abnormal secondary pulmonary lobules, consistent with lobular pneumonia.

  		Fig. 4 . —24-year-old man with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. High-resolution CT scan (1.0-mm collimation) through right lung shows lobular areas of air-space consolidation (arrow) in medial segment of middle lobe. Note focal areas of ground-glass attenuation and poorly defined nodules in superior segment of right lower lobe.

B, High-resolution CT scan (1.5-mm collimation) of right lung shows focal areas of air-space consolidation in nonsegmental distribution and multiple, partly confluent air-space nodules in centrilobular distribution.

  		Fig. 2 . —30-year-old man with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.

B, High-resolution CT scan (1.5-mm collimation) targeted to right lung shows nonsegmental subpleural air-space consolidation (curved arrow), centrilobular nodules (straight arrow), extensive areas of ground-glass attenuation, and interlobular septal thickening.

  		Fig. 5 . —55-year-old man with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.

A and B, High-resolution CT scans (1.0-mm collimation) at level of right upper (A) and lower (B) lobes show poorly defined nodular and branching areas of increased attenuation with predominantly centrilobular distribution (straight arrow, B) and bronchial wall thickening (curved arrow, A and B).
