CT –TB Pneumonia – Left Upper Lobe Cavitation
CT scan in the axial plane of the left upper lobe of a 28-year-old immigrant with cough shows a thick walled cavitating mass subtended by a subsegmental thick-walled airway. Lab tests confirmed the diagnosis of TB and the patient was treated with RISE, a 4-month treatment regimen of rifapentine-moxifloxacin for mycobacterium tuberculosis.
