FIG1
The chest X-ray (Figure 1) showed scattered calcified lesions in the left lower lung, but no other significant findings were evident.
Chest computed tomography scan. Chest computed tomography scan on admission showing dilated bronchioles surrounded by granular, chordate, and plaque shadows (yellow arrows) in the bilateral lung apexes.

FIG2
CT (Figure 2) showed dilated bronchioles with granular, chordate, and plaque shadows in the bilateral lung apexes. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examinations showed an elevated cell count of 13 cells/muL (neutrophils: 21%, lymphocytes: 68%, and histiocytes: 11%) but normal protein, glucose, and adenosine deaminase levels, and the oligoclonal band were negative.
Magnetic resonance images. T1-weighted magnetic resonance images at the upper levels of the cerebellum on admission (A) and two years after tuberculosis treatment (B). Neither image shows swelling, atrophy of the cerebellum, or other abnormal signals.

FIG3
Head CT and brain MRI scans were normal (Figure 3), but positron emission tomography-CT imaging (Figure 4) showed significant 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in the hilar lymph nodes and left lung.
Positron emission tomography-computed tomography imaging. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography imaging shows 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in the hilar lymph nodes (yellow arrow) and the left upper lung (red arrow).
