ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The authors would like to thank the following people for their help in the preparation of the text and illustrations: Dr Elisa Perry (consultant radiologist at Guys’ and St Thomas’ Hospital), Dr Russel Houghton (consultant radiologist at Guys’ and St Thomas’ Hospital), Dr Haran Jogeesvaran (consultant radiologist at Guys’ and St Thomas’ Hospital), Dr Andrew McGrath (consultant interventional radiologist at Guys’ and St Thomas’ Hospital), Dr H.K. Mohan (consultant nuclear medicine physician at Guys’ and St Thomas’ Hospital) and Dr David Howlett (consultant radiologist at Eastbourne Hospital). Many of the images were produced during the authors’ time as registrars at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital. Without the support of the hospital in allowing the use of anonymized images this book would not have been possible.

CASE 1: DETERIORATING SHORTNESS OF BREATH IN A SMOKER

History

You are asked to review a 72-year-old man on the post-take ward round. He was admitted last night with increasing shortness of breath. His breathing has been getting worse for many years now, and he notices that it is especially bad in the winter. His general practitioner (GP) has diagnosed asthma and has been managing him at home. He recalls having several courses of antibiotics over the last few years.

His recent problems started 3 days ago with a cough productive of green sputum. He has felt generally unwell and his breathing has deteriorated significantly. He cannot climb the stairs at home now and slept on the sofa last night. His GP saw him this morning and referred him to hospital as an infective exacerbation of asthma. He continues to smoke despite advice, and has a 50 pack-year history. There is no other relevant past medical history. He takes a salbutamol inhaler when needed but today this was of little help.

Examination

Some blood tests were performed and a chest radiograph was requested (Figure 1.1). His white cell count is 16.3 × 109/L, neutrophil count 89 per cent and haemoglobin 14.2 g/dL.

Figure 1.1 Chest radiograph.

Questions

What does this radiograph show?

What is the likely diagnosis and how can this be confirmed?
