Abstract:
Bronchocentric granulomatosis is a non-specific necrotizing granulomatous reaction in the bronchi and bronchioles. In asthmatic patients, bronchocentric granulomatosis is considered a hypersensitivity reaction to intrabronchial fungi. However, in non-asthmatic patients the possible etiology has not been identified. We report the case of a 46-year-old woman with bronchocentric granulomatosis associated with pulmonary hydatidosis. The likely immuno-pathogenic mechanisms leading to bronchial lesions are briefly discussed.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
