The condition started 3years ago, by cough and expectoration of about ¼ cup/day of greenish sputum, not related to posture, along with fever up to 39°C with loss of weight about 12kg in one month and associated with diarrhea and mucus shedding. The patient sought medical advice and received empirical antibiotics and symptomatic treatments with partial clinical improvement. The patient showed multiple relapses of same respiratory and gastro-enterology symptoms every 3–4weeks with 4 hospital admissions. CT-chest was done and revealed emphysematous changes with basal inflammatory reaction (Fig. 1); sputum workup showed no acid fast bacilli and growth of normal flora, fasting blood glucose was 102mg/dl. A second CT-chest was done after one year and showed right sided pneumonic consolidation, bilateral pneumonic reaction with multiple mediastinal lymphadenopathy, bilateral pleural thickening and right encysted pleural effusion (Fig. 2). |
