Tricuspid valve infective endocarditis with septic pulmonary emboli. (A) A chest radiograph shows multiple peripheral patchy opacities in the bilateral lungs (arrowheads). (B) A lung window of a coronal CT scan shows multiple peripheral wedge-shaped opacities (arrowheads). (C) A lung window of a cross-sectional CT scan shows a ground-glass opacity in the right upper lobe (arrow) and a nodule with cavity in the left upper lobe (arrowhead). (D) A peripheral wedge-shaped opacity with central necrosis in the right lower lobe (arrowhead) and a peripheral wedge-shaped opacity without central necrosis in the left lower lobe (arrowhead). The patient was a 50-year-old woman whose blood cultures were positive for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus.
