No clubbing or cervical lymphadenopathy was detected but JVP was raised. Respiratory system examination showed laboured breathing with bilateral inspiratory crackles and rhonchi. Abdominal examination showed tender hepatomegaly with ascitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The nodules included sulfur granules containing Gram-positive branching filamentous organisms consistent with Actinomyces. [rc.rcjournal.com]

An associated soft-tissue mass was not seen in any case. Difficulty in determining the relationship between lymph node and bronchus is due to volume averaging, which can be decreased by scanning thinner sections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chest x-ray revealed atelectasis in the right upper lobe (RUL) (Fig. 1A) and subsequent computed tomography of chest demonstrated a small soft-tissue mass with peripheral high-density foci in the RUL bronchus (Fig. 1B). [journals.lww.com]

During his subsequent jobs as a painter and doorman, there was no exposure to silica dust. Physical examination disclosed diminished breath sounds and sparse ronchi, as well as finger clubbing. [erj.ersjournals.com]

Case: A 60-yr. female non-smoker presented with abrupt onset, episodic, severe cough precipitated by drinking fluids. Ingestion of liquids resulted in immediate cough and expectoration of swallowed liquid. [nature.com]

The main symptom is a dry cough with eventual expectoration. Haemoptysis may vary from mild to severe. Fever and chills are often related to infectious complications. Wheezing may occasionally occur due to mechanical obstruction of the airways. [erj.ersjournals.com]

She had a dry cough and chest pain for 2 months before this episode. [academic.oup.com]

Generally, ABPA is clinically characterized by poorly controlled asthma, recurrent pulmonary infiltration, and bronchiectasis. [e-sciencecentral.org]

Pulmonary infiltrates, when coupled with eosinophilia in an asthmatic subject, have raised an initial suspicion of some kind of eosinophilic lung disease such as ABPA, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, or Churg-Strauss syndrome ( 7 ). [synapse.koreamed.org]
