Fig. 1A. 62-year-old woman with multiple myeloma and influenza virus
pneumonia. Posteroanterior chest radiograph shows bilateral air-space
consolidation involving mainly upper lobes and associated with ill-defined
nodular opacities.

Fig. 1B. 62-year-old woman with multiple myeloma and influenza virus
pneumonia. High-resolution CT scan obtained at level of right middle lobe
shows patchy bilateral areas of ground-glass attenuation, mild septal
thickening (black arrows), and ill-defined centrilobular nodules
(white arrows) in right lower and middle lobes.

Fig. 2A. 34-year-old man with history of acute myeloid leukemia who developed
influenza virus pneumonia 80 days after receiving allogeneic bone marrow
transplant. Centrilobular nodules were predominant finding. Chest radiograph
shows patchy air-space consolidation in right middle lung zone associated with
ill-defined nodules. Although mild consolidation is evident in retrocardiac
region of left lower lobe, it is difficult to see on radiograph.

Fig. 2B. 34-year-old man with history of acute myeloid leukemia who developed
influenza virus pneumonia 80 days after receiving allogeneic bone marrow
transplant. Centrilobular nodules were predominant finding. High-resolution CT
scan shows that right lower lobe has focal area of air-space consolidation
(long arrow) in which air bronchogram is seen. Also seen are few
centrilobular nodules (short arrows). Postoperative changes related
to previous right upper lobectomy are also visible.

Fig. 2C. 34-year-old man with history of acute myeloid leukemia who developed
influenza virus pneumonia 80 days after receiving allogeneic bone marrow
transplant. Centrilobular nodules were predominant finding. High-resolution CT
scan obtained at subcarinal level shows centrilobular nodules (black solid
arrows) and few branching opacities (tree-in-bud pattern) (white
curved arrow) in addition to small areas of consolidation (open
arrow) and ground-glass attenuation (white solid arrow).
