Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a common disease, especially in developing or underdeveloped countries. We present the case of a young female patient who was diagnosed and treated for pulmonary TB, with bacteriological improvement but with persistent respiratory symptoms, especially wheezing located in the left hemithorax.
A chest CT scan showed an obstruction of the left main bronchus, atelectasis, and bronchiectasis in the left upper and lower lobes.
The diverse types of sequelae secondary to pulmonary TB are presented, and the diagnostic means to differentiate relapses of the disease from the sequelae of TB and the possible treatments according to the type of lesion are discussed.
