An Interesting Case of Non - Resolving Pneumonia

Abstract

Non-resolving pneumonia is defined as pneumonia with a slow or partial resolution of symptoms or radiological abnormalities in spite of adequate antibiotic therapy. It is a common problem encountered in clinical practice estimated to be responsible for significant percentage of inpatient pulmonary consultations and bronchoscopies. Here we report an interesting case of nonresolving pneumonia anemia in a young female, who was subsequently found to have endobronchial tuberculosis on fiberoptic bronchoscopy, confirmed by biopsy.
