Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis presenting as bilateral multiple lung nodules or diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is very rare. Here, we report a case of pulmonary tuberculosis presenting as bilateral multiple lung nodules and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage mimicking granulomatous vasculitis, such as Wegener's granulomatosis.

폐결핵이 양측성 다발성 결절로 나타나는 것은 매우 드물며, 미만성 폐포출혈로 나타나는 것은 더욱 드물다. 저자들은 양측성 다발성 폐결절과 미만성 폐포출혈로 나타나서, 베게너 육아종증과 같은 육아종성 혈관염으로 오인되었던 폐결핵의 1예를 보고하고자 한다.
