A 29-year-old female presented with complaints of fever and productive cough of three weeks duration. Pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed bacteriologically and she was prescribed antituberculosis drugs. During follow-up she developed massive pneumothorax, for which patient refused surgical management and was managed conservatively. After six months there was complete spontaneous resolution of pneumothorax. The unusual presentation and unexpected outcome prompted us to report this case.
一名29岁女性因发热和咳痰三周前来就诊。经细菌学诊断为肺结核,她被开了抗结核药物。在随访期间,她出现了大量气胸,患者拒绝手术治疗,采取了保守治疗。六个月后,气胸完全自行吸收。这种不寻常的表现和意外的结果促使我们报告这个病例。
