CT –Reactivation TB – Left Upper Lobe
CT scan in the axial plane of the left upper lobe of a 28-year-old immigrant with cough shows a focal subsegmental consolidation with focal cavitation subtended by a thick-walled subsegmental airway. There are extensive tree in bud changes indicating transbronchial spread. Lab tests confirmed a diagnosis of TB and the patient was treated with RISE, a 4-month treatment regimen of rifapentine-moxifloxacin for mycobacterium tuberculosis.
