    • Multiple consolidative opacities throughout the lungs consistent with multifocal pneumonia. Consider fungal etiologies within the differential diagnosis.

        • blood cultures are positive for strep pneumo
        • Evolution of bilateral multilobar consolidative opacities with interval development of pronounced cystic and/or cavitary changes. There is also increased centrilobular nodularity which now extends throughout the bilateral lungs, likely related to infectious bronchiolitis. Main
          differential consideration is PJP pneumonia, probably more likely than other fungal or bacterial causes of multi lobar cavitary pneumonia.
