He had previous medical history of pulmonary tuberculosis 27 years ago. In chest X-ray, multiple cavitary appearances were present. In computerized tomography (CT) of the thorax, bilateral multiple cavities were seen. Sputum smear examinations for acido resistant bacilli (ARB) were negative for nine times.
