Figure 1. Clinical course. (A) At the time of diagnosis ofMycobacterium avium pulmonary disease 12 months prior to admission, the patient had an infiltrative shadow in the right upper lobe with cavities and bronchiectasis. No obvious pulmonary lesions other than in the upper lobe were observed. (B) Three months prior to admission, the infiltrative shadow had apparently resolved after 9 months of combination therapy of clarithromycin and ethambutol, but the cavities and bronchiectasis remained. (C) Three weeks prior to admission, there was a growing hepatocellular carcinoma lesion in the right lobe of the liver with scattered areas of high density due to lipiodol infusion in the context of liver cirrhosis. (D) Ten days before admission, chest X-ray showed pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema. No pneumothorax or pulmonary lesions were found. (E) On admission, the lung lesion of Mycobacterium avium in the right upper lobe remained unchanged, and extensive consolidation was observed from just below the pleura to the middle layer in the left lower lobe, and ground-glass opacities were recognized at the margins. (F) On the third day after admission, the infiltrative shadow had expanded in the left lower lobe and was accompanied by new cavitary nodules (arrows).
