 AB    A number of studies have shown that high-resolution CT (HRCT) scanning
       may be helpful in the assessment of acute diffuse lung disease in
       immunocompromised patients. HRCT may demonstrate abnormalities when the
       radiograph is normal and may allow for a more confident diagnosis in
       patients with nonspecific radiographic findings. Because HRCT is
       superior in demonstrating the distribution and extent of parenchymal
       abnormalities, it is also helpful as a guide to the optimal type and
       site of lung biopsy. This article reviews the HRCT manifestations of the
       most common causes of acute diffuse lung disease in the
       immunocompromised host, including infection, drug-induced lung disease,
       pulmonary edema, and neoplasms.
