![Findings of a radiograph](https://challengercme.com/hubfs/image%20(27).png)

A chest radiograph is included in this question. What condition is associated with the findings in this radiograph?

![image (27)](https://challengercme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image%20(27).png?width=534&height=504&name=image%20(27).png)

- Tuberculosis
- Bacterial pneumonia
- Viral pneumonia
- Atypical pneumonia

The correct answer is:

Tuberculosis

 

This is a radiograph of a lung infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent in tuberculosis (TB). The upper lobe is the most common location of a TB infection of the lungs. The typical findings are cavitation (round black holes due to local loss of lung tissue), fibrosis, lymphadenopathy, and calcifications.
