Mycoplasma pneumonia may appear in various forms of changes such as bronchial wall thickening, bronchodilatation-like changes, nodules in the center of the lobule, trephine sign, ground-glass shadow, solid shadow, etc., but it is often difficult to diagnose the disease only based on the CT manifestations, and a comprehensive analysis is needed.
Mycoplasma pneumonia is caused by mycoplasma infection, which usually invades the bronchial tubes first, and then gradually spreads to the interstitium as well as the alveoli, so bronchial wall thickening, bronchodilatation changes, as well as lobule-centered nodules, tree-tooth sign, and ground-glass shadows may appear. As the disease progresses, it may lead to significant involvement of lung tissue, which may result in realistic shadows.
