We recently evaluated three adult patients with rounded densities on their chest roentgenograms in whom the final diagnosis was presumed to be lower respiratory tract infection. In all cases, the circular infiltrates proved to be localized "round pneumonias." Round pneumonia has been well described in children but is less well known in adults. While uncommon, round pneumonia in adults may not be rare and deserves early diagnostic consideration to prevent unnecessary investigation.
我们最近评估了三名成年患者，他们的胸部X光片上有圆形致密影，最终诊断推测为下呼吸道感染。在所有病例中，圆形浸润灶均被证实为局限性“圆形肺炎”。圆形肺炎在儿童中已有充分描述，但在成人中却鲜为人知。虽然成人圆形肺炎并不常见，但可能并不罕见，值得早期诊断考虑以避免不必要的检查。
