Özet

A 42-year-old female patient who was treated for pulmonary tuberculosis three years ago was admitted to our clinic with complaints of muscle weakness. On chest radiography, a diffuse cavitary lesion and nodular infiltration of the right lung was detected. Sputum acid-fast bacilli were positive, and the patient was diagnosed with pulmonary reactivation tuberculosis. Severe hypercalcemia was observed in the laboratory, and treatment for hypercalcemia was started alongside tuberculosis treatment. The case was presented to literature due to its rarity.

Abstract

Üç yıl önce tüberküloz tedavisi alan 42 yaşında bayan hasta, polikliniğimize kas güçsüzlüğü şikâyeti ile başvurdu. Akciğer grafisinde, sağ akciğerde yaygın kaviter ve nodüler infiltrasyon mevcuttu. Balgam aside dirençli boyaması (ARB) pozitif gelen hastaya reaktivasyon akciğer tüberkülozu tanısı kondu. Laboratuvar sonuçlarında ciddi hiperkalsemi saptanan hastaya, tüberküloz tedavisinin yanında hiperkalsemi tedavisi başlandı. Olgu nadir görülmesi nedeniyle literatür eşliğinde sunuldu.
