Pulmonary infiltrate

A pulmonary infiltrate is a substance denser than air, such as pus, blood, or protein, which lingers within the parenchyma of the lungs[1]. Pulmonary infiltrates are associated with pneumonia, tuberculosis, and nocardiosis.

Pulmonary infiltrates can be observed on a chest radiograph.
