A destroyed lung pertains to the complete destruction of the lung. This is an irreversible condition and is an outcome of chronic or recurrent lung infections. Tuberculosis is widely reported to be a cause of destroyed lungs, and post-tubercular destroyed lung syndrome is a major issue, especially in countries with a high burden of tuberculosis. Herein, a case of destroyed lung syndrome in a 22-year-old Indian male is presented. He had a history of irregular treatment for tuberculosis and reported complaints of dry cough, fever, and dyspnea. A detailed clinical, radiological, and lab workup established the diagnosis of destroyed lung syndrome, and he was reinitiated on anti-tubercular treatment.
