Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
A pulmonary cavity is a gas filled area of the lung in the centre of either a nodule or consolidation which could be either due to infection or non infection process diagnosed clinically or radiologically. Thick walled cavities are typically seen in mycobacterial infection, malignancies, fungal infection. Necrotizing infection of lungs caused by gram negative bacteria may also produce cavities of varying thickness. Here we present a rare case of chronic klebsiella pneumonia infection causing B/L thick walled pulmonary cavity in a Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patient.
