  		Figure 1. 39-year-old man with AIDS and Rhodococcus pneumonia (case 2). (a) High-resolution CT demonstrates consolidation with multiple areas of cavitation in the right upper lobe. Ground-glass opacities are seen adjacent to the consolidation. (b) A thin walled septated cavity is present in the right middle lobe.

  		Figure 2. 42-year-old man with AIDS and Rhodococcus pneumonia (case 3). (a) High-resolution CT shows consolidation with areas of cavitation in the upper segment of the left lower lobe. Note adjacent centrilobular nodules (white curved arrows) and ground-glass opacities. (b) High-resolution CT demonstrates small centrilobular nodules and ground-glass opacities in the periphery of the consolidation (black arrow). Also note centrilobular nodules (white curved arrows) and "tree in bud" pattern (black curved arrows).

  		Figure 3. 42-year-old woman with AIDS and Rhodococcus pneumonia (case 1). (a, b) High-resolution CT shows air-space consolidation and cavitation in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe. Areas of consolidation, centrilobular opacities, confluent centrilobular nodules and areas of ground-glass attenuation can be seen adjacent to the consolidation. Also noted are confluent centrilobular nodules and ground-glass opacities (curved black arrows) in the left lung.
