Abstract
Serial chest X-rays of 14 patients with parapneumonic ARDS (PARDS) wer e analysed retrospectively. Typical findings on chest X-ray films occu rred after a latency period of 12-24 h following the clinical start of PARDS. We found some ''early signs'' of PARDS, such as central inters titial paravascular edema (14/14), bilateral hilar infiltrates (9/14) and the absence of pleural effusion (12/14).
