Figure 2. Patient 5. Tuberculosis in a 60-year-old man with cough, fever, and dyspnea at presentation 10 months after left single-lung transplantation for rheumatoid lung disease. Posteroanterior chest radiograph shows new heterogeneous opacities (arrows) in the native right lower lobe. Bilateral pleural thickening was unchanged from that seen on multiple prior radiographs. Cultures of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from the right lower lobe were positive for M tuberculosis infection. The patient subsequently died of respiratory failure.
