Tuberculosis with isolated atelectasis: a case report
Abstract
Tuberculosis is a significant health issue in developing countries, with the World Health Organization reporting over 10 million cases worldwide in 2014. While methods exist for rapid investigation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, radiological imaging may lead to an earlier suspicion, such as presence of cavitation. In this case report, a patient with only radiological finding being atelectasis will be presented.

Keywords : Atelectasis, tuberculosis, fluoroquinolone
