Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Endobronchial tuberculosis is an uncommon form of mycobacterial lung infection.
  • It can present with varied clinical and radiological findings.

Observation:

  • A case is presented where an endobronchial tuberculous granuloma led to acute respiratory distress.
  • The clinical presentation simulated foreign body aspiration.

Findings:

  • The study details a rare instance of endobronchial tuberculosis presenting as an acute respiratory emergency.
  • A granuloma within the bronchus caused airway obstruction.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering uncommon diagnoses like endobronchial tuberculosis in respiratory distress.
