Pulmonary nocardiosis mimicking tuberculosis

Pulmonary nocardiosis is an infrequent and severe infection due to Nocardia species, microorganisms that may behave both as opportunists and as primary pathogens. Diagnosis of pulmonary nocardiosis is frequently delayed and a high level of suspicion is required in patients with underlying diseases or chronic corticosteroid therapy. Hereby we are presenting a case of pulmonary nocardiosis mimick...

Pulmonary Paragonimiasis Mimicking Tuberculosis.

Paragonimiasis is a disease which is frequently misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis. In the areas where people eat crab/crayfish this disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis to avoid antituberculosis treatment for a non-tubercular condition. We are reporting a case of pulmonary paragonimiasis who had been treated for tuberculosis.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis-mimicking Tuberculosis.

BACKGROUND Pulmonary tuberculosis is occasionally confused with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in transplant recipients, since clinical suspicion and early diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and IPA rely heavily on imaging modes such as computed tomography (CT). We therefore investigated IPA-mimicking tuberculosis in transplant recipients. METHODS All adult transplant recipients who ...

Pulmonary Actinomycosis Mimicking Lung Cancer

Herein, we reported on a case of solid type of pulmonary actinomycosis in a 10-year-old boy. He had productive cough for 40 days. Bronchoscopy was normal. Cmputed tomography revealed a solid large mass in the upper lobe of his left lung with mimicking malignant leisions. He was referred for surgery and underwent left upper lobectomy. Macroscopically, the specimen measured 13×9×5 cm and was crea...
