We report a case of a 61-year-old Filipino-American male who developed pulmonary tuberculosis after travel to the Philippines. His history, presentation, imaging findings, and clinical course are presented as well as a discussion of the interesting imaging features in his case. Our case highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion for tuberculosis in the setting of "bronchiectatic air bronchograms" as well as the value of computed tomography (CT) imaging in pulmonary tuberculosis.
我们报告一例61岁的菲律宾裔美国男性病例，该患者在前往菲律宾旅行后患上了肺结核。文中介绍了他的病史、临床表现、影像学检查结果及临床病程，并对其病例中有趣的影像学特征进行了讨论。我们的病例强调了在出现“支气管扩张性空气支气管征”的情况下对肺结核保持高度怀疑的重要性，以及计算机断层扫描（CT）成像在肺结核诊断中的价值。
