Appearance move to sidebar hide From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Substance denser than air and associated with lung disease

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,[citation needed] and sarcoidosis.[2] Valvular heart diseases, such as mitral regurgitation, may also lead to the formation of infiltrates.

Pulmonary infiltrates can be observed on a chest radiograph.[citation needed]
