Endobronchial tuberculosis in an adult.
Although endobronchial tuberculosis has been thought to be a common childhood illness, this report is of endobronchial tuberculosis in an adult, who presented with chronic cough, a normal chest radiograph, and tuberculin conversion. The lesions were discovered at bronchoscopy, which showed complete resolution when repeated after six months of antituberculous therapy.
