Computed tomography (CT) scans for reported case of Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens infection in 25-year-old immunocompetent man. A) Initial CT showing 25-mm cavitating right apical lesion. B) Repeat CT after 6 months of treatment, indicating interval cavitary lesion reduction to 10 mm and resolution of the second smaller cavitation seen on original CT. C) Final CT 6 months after treatment cessation, indicating further cavity resolution without evidence of infection recurrence.
