Excerpt

Jovan Lovrenski states [1] that “Aside from subpleural consolidations, lung US is very much based on artifacts, such as A- and B-lines,” but this aspect is poorly discussed in his article. The author, for example, says that pneumonia can be seen on lung ultrasound (US) as “focal confluent B-lines” without consolidation. I am perplexed and doubt such a pattern on lung US (without consolidations) allows the diagnosis of pneumonia without using traditional imaging. …
