Pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex infection - mixed form - untreated - first-time detected
A right sagittal CT scan with contrast enhancement of a 71-year-old female. It shows a right middle lobe and left upper lobe fibrocavitary pattern - Lady Windermere Syndrome (LWS). Noticeable are bronchiectasis, bronchial wall thickening, centrilobular nodules in a "tree in the bud" appearance, and mucous plugging noted scattered through both upper lobes, right middle lobe, and superior segments of the lower lobes. Pulmonary calcifications and nodularity are likely due to chronic infection. The Mycobacterium avium complex was isolated. A 64-slice CT scanner was used, with the thickness parameter set to 0.5 mm. A 100 ml iodine contrast with V = 5 ml/sec injection was administered prior to the scan.
