Progressive pulmonary tuberculosis associated with bronchial dilatation: A clinical image

Clin Case Rep. 2022 Dec 5;10(12):e6704. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.6704. eCollection 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Bronchial dilatation is a potentially serious and irreversible clinical and radiological entity. It is an often underdiagnosed condition, particularly in developing countries. This clinical image presents bronchial dilatations of casual discovery associated with radiographic images suggestive of progressive pulmonary tuberculosis. Thoracic imaging remains crucial in the diagnosis of bronchopulmonary diseases.

Keywords: bronchiectasis; developing countries; diagnosis; imaging; pulmonary tuberculosis.
