The chest radiograph in XXXX in Jamaica.

@entity1 @entity1143 @entity1087 @entity2926 @entity854 @entity358
A consecutive series of 44 @entity1 with proven @entity2926 was studied to document the @entity358 , assess their prevalence, correlate them with the clinical signs and symptoms and determine their prognostic significance. Abnormalities were found in ten @entity1 (23%), this prevalence being less than previously noted. The abnormalities shown were non-segmental opacification (consolidation-eight cases), basal linear opacities (collapse-five cases) and @entity1143 (four cases). The first radiographic demonstration of a large @entity1143 in @entity2926 is recorded. @entity1087 @entity1 had a higher prevalence (43%) of these @entity1087 (13%). No other correlation with clinical signs or symptoms was found. The presence of these abnormalities had no prognostic significance. It is concluded that the presence of @entity358 in in- @entity1 with @entity2926 is common. These abnormalities are non-specific and can mimic other diseases leading to diagnostic difficulty. @entity854 may be extensive in the absence of clinical signs and symptoms.
