A 29-year-old female was admitted complaints of dyspnea and high fever without therapy for abnormal shadow on chest roentgenogram during 8 months due to her religious problems. Because M. tuberculosis was detected, therapy for tuberculosis was indicated. After this therapy, widespread consolidation with diffuse fine nodular shadows on chest roentgenogram turned to multiple thin walled cavities with wide destruction of lung tissue. This advanced tuberculosis was thought to result mainly from the patient's delay.
