Abstract:
A 55 years immunocompetent male was evaluated for chronic pulmonary disease of over 12-month duration for which he had twice been prescribed anti-tubercular therapy. Investigations led to the diagnosis of chronic Klebsiella pneumonia, which is rarely encountered in immunocompetent hosts in the antibiotic era.
