Abstract
A 75-year-old woman presented to the National Hospital Organization Kinki-Chuo Chest Medical Center with haemoptysis and general fatigue. She had had transient haemoptysis at the age of 25 years. Her past medical and family histories were not significant. Chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated consolidation with cavitary lesions, centrilobular nodules, and bronchiectasis (Figure 1A). She was diagnosed with a Mycobacterium avium infection and was treated with clarithromycin, ethambutol, and rifampicin.
