Indian J Tuberc. 2015 Jul;62(3):180-2. doi: 10.1016/j.ijtb.2015.09.008. Epub 2015 Oct 9.

Abstract

Tuberculosis continues to remain challenging with a variety of complications. We report the case of a 58-year-old female who developed pulmonary artery aneurysm with intra-arterial thrombus as a complication of active tuberculosis. Even though there are reports of pulmonary artery aneurysm in tuberculous cavity, pulmonary artery aneurysm and intra-arterial thrombus in active tuberculosis are very rare.

Keywords: Pulmonary artery aneurysm; Thrombus; Tuberculosis.
