No significant difference was found between both groups when comparing age, gender, lesion size and lesion distribution. Statistically significant difference was found for lesion wall thickness and presence of solid component between these two groups.
The most common infectious cause of spontaneous pneumothorax was tuberculosis and noninfectious cause was chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD).
Out of 37 patients with pneumothorax, 18 could be attributed to infectious aetiology and remaining 19 were due to noninfectious causes. A scoring system (score 0–10) was proposed based on parameters which were statistically significant Results: They were classified into ‘Infectious’ and ‘Non-infectious’ groups, based on cause of pneumothorax. To identify specific characteristics, distribution and associated findings of lesions causing secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) Methods:Ĭomputed tomography (CT) chest of 37 patients (between October 2011 and January 2020) was evaluated by two radiologists.
