    Author: Nakazono T, Ogata H, Mizutani S, Kino T.
    Journal: Kekkaku; 1994 Sep; 69(9):565-9. PubMed ID: 7967318.
    Abstract:
    Hilar lymph node tuberculosis with atelectasis of the left upper division in a 23 year-old woman was reported. After 3 months' antituberculous chemotherapy, atelectasis on her chest X ray disappeared completely. The case was considered as so-called epituberculosis. Bronchoscopy revealed the improvement of bronchial obstruction due to hilar lymph node tuberculosis. As the majority of epituberculosis cases were found in infants with soft and elastic bronchi, such an adult case like ours was considered to be rare.
