Pulmonary infiltrate
A pulmonary infiltrate is a substance denser than air, such as pus, blood, or protein, which lingers within the parenchyma of the lungs. Pulmonary infiltrates are associated with pneumonia, tuberculosis, and nocardiosis.
Pulmonary infiltrates can be observed on a chest radiograph.
