Endobronchial tuberculosis: report of three cases.
Three patients are presented who had had a chronic cough for several months, a normal physical examination and a negative chest X-ray. Fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination revealed ulcerohaemorrhagic and/or stenotic lesions which proved to be of tuberculous origin. In one case there was a life-threatening haemoptysis, and a pneumonectomy was performed.
