Resumohemorrhage, neoplasm, and others.Additional sonographic signs are needed for further differentiation (3).Even the presence of air bronchogram inside the consolidation on lung ultrasound has been reported in patients with pulmonary neoplasm, not pneumonia (4).In summary, the presence of air bronchogram inside the consolidation is not specific for pneumonia, and further sonographic signs such as dynamic air bronchogram are needed to support the diagnosis.In this case, resorptive atelectasis rather than pneumonia is more likely to be the cause of the rapid relief of pulmonary consolidation on lung ultrasound.
