Despite the fact that miliary tuberculosis is frequently seen, associated pneumothorax developing during antitubercular chemotherapy for miliary tuberculosis is rare. Pneumothorax is potentially life threatening in association with miliary tuberculosis; and its symptoms may be masked by those of miliary tuberculosis, leading to avoidable delay in the diagnosis of pneumothorax. Here we describe a 24-year-old female patient developing recurrent pneumothorax while on antitubercular chemotherapy for miliary tuberculosis.
尽管粟粒性肺结核很常见，但在抗结核化疗期间并发气胸是很少见的。气胸与粟粒性肺结核相关时可能危及生命；并且其症状可能被粟粒性肺结核所掩盖，导致气胸的诊断被不必要地延迟。在此，我们描述了一位 24 岁的女性患者，在接受抗结核化疗治疗粟粒性肺结核时反复发生气胸。
