A 67-year-old woman presented high-grade fever and dyspnea. Sputum culture confirmed Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC). Transbronchial lung biopsies revealed organizing pneumonia (OP) that was rapidly improved with corticosteroid. Five months after onset, a nodule emerged in the right lung. Although MAC was confirmed, the lesion was deemed too small to merit anti-mycobacterial chemotherapy. Four months later, diffuse infiltrates developed on chest X-ray. Bronchoalveolar lavage study identified MAC and exhibited OP patterns. We commenced antimycobacterial chemotherapy. The infiltrates almost completely improved within a month without corticosteroid.
