CT Findings of Mycobacterium Avium Intracellulare Infections in the Lung

Abstract

The most common radiological pattern was multiple pulmonary nodules. The commonly observed CT findings are centrilobular, peribronchovascular nodules, bronchiectasis, consolidation, tree-in-bud, pleural thickening, pleural adhesion.
