Cystic pulmonary tuberculosis : A rare form of an ancient disease

© 2022 The Authors. Respirology Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of The Asian Pacific Society of Respirology..

Cystic pulmonary tuberculosis is a unique form of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) presenting with multiple reversible cysts of the lung. Unlike the other forms, this cystic lung disease can improve with prompt tuberculosis treatments. Here we report the case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with respiratory failure and severe lung damage at hospital admission. We diagnosed her with PTB based on her positive GeneXpert result test. The patient was treated with a standard tuberculosis regimen for 6 months and recovered completely.
