  • Title: High-resolution computed tomography of 'hot tub' pneumonitis.
    Author: O'Neil RA, Bennett G, Kapoor C.
    Journal: Australas Radiol; 2006 Feb; 50(1):52-4. PubMed ID: 16499728.
    Abstract:
    A case of pneumonitis following exposure to Mycobacterium avium intracellulare in an indoor home spa (hot tub) is presented. The patient complained of recurrent dyspnoea and wheezing. High-resolution CT showed centrilobular ground-glass nodules. Pathological correlation showed interstitial and bronchiolocentric granulomata. Biopsy cultures grew M. avium intracellulare. The patient condition improved following cessation of hot tub use.
