Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Primary tuberculous tracheitis is an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis (TB).
  • It typically presents with airway obstruction symptoms.

Observation:

  • A healthy woman presented with cough and stridor.
  • Imaging revealed diffuse tracheal narrowing due to a pseudomembranous lesion.

Findings:

  • The lesion was confirmed as tuberculous.
  • Antituberculosis chemotherapy led to complete resolution of the tracheal narrowing.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering TB in the differential diagnosis of tracheal stenosis.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antituberculosis chemotherapy are crucial for favorable outcomes.
