ABSTRACT
Bronchial invasion of tuberculous lymphadenitis in children has been reported in areas of high tuberculosis (TB) prevalence as a complication due to primary pulmonary tuberculosis. However, it is rare in immunocompetent adults. When it appears, it often presents as a consequence of the reactivation of TB in the lung parenchyma. Primary TB occurs more frequently in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), with a history of organ transplants, or undergoing immunosuppressive treatments such as steroids. Furthermore, bronchial invasion of the bronchus by tuberculous lymphadenitis is considered to be very rare even among immunocompromised adults with primary TB, and has never before been reported in Korea. The authors report a case of bronchial invasion of the bronchus by tuberculous lymphadenitis, confirmed by bronchoscopy, in an Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patient.
