Comparison of chest computed tomography findings over time for patient who had chronic pulmonary disease caused by Tsukamurella toyonakaense. Findings are shown from before Tsukamurella species was detected (A, C, E, and G) and 6 years later (B, D, F, and H). A and B show that nodules in right segment 2 and left segment 6 were unchanged. C and D show that bronchiectasis in lingula had progressed. E and F show that bronchiectasis newly appeared in the middle lobe. G and H show that nodules newly appeared in left segments 8–10.
