A recent paper in the literature described thickening of the posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius (PWBI) in patients with congestive heart failure, and/or enlarged lymph nodes and neoplastic infiltrations. At this institution we have seen two recent cases of right upper lobe viral pneumonia demonstrating abnormal thickening of the posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius on lateral chest radiographs. A retrospective survey of our museum cases supported the hypothesis that pneumonia of the right lung, involving the right upper, middle, lower or any combination of these lobes may show thickening of the posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius.
文献中最近的一篇论文描述了充血性心力衰竭患者中间支气管后壁（PWBI）增厚，以及/或者淋巴结肿大和肿瘤浸润。在本机构，我们最近遇到了两例右上叶病毒性肺炎患者，其侧位胸片显示中间支气管后壁异常增厚。对我们病例库病例的回顾性调查支持了这样的假设：累及右上、中、下叶或这些叶任意组合的右肺肺炎可能显示中间支气管后壁增厚。
