CHEST
An 18-year-old girl with chronic cough and recurrent chest infections shows symmetrical upper lobe predominant varicoid and cystic bronchiectasis on HRCT Review of older abdominal plain films shows calcification across the central upper abdomen at the T12/L1level. What is the likely diagnosis?

B. Sarcoidosis
C. William-Campbell syndrome
D. ABPA
E. Kartagener’s syndrome
A. Cystic fibrosis (CF)
The classic diagnostic triad in patients with cystic fibrosis includes an abnormal sweat chloridetest result and manifestations of pulmonary and pancreatic disease. Upper lobe predominance is seen in many but not all cases; a diffuse distribution is also common. Normal to increased lung volumes are typical in CF and indicate air trapping and small airways disease. CT images show extensive cystic and cylindrical bronchiectasis and bronchial wall and peribronchial interstitial thickening. Findings are typically more extensive in patients with bronchiectasis due to cystic fibrosis than in patients with bronchiectasis due to other causes. Nodular opacities throughout the lungs correlate with areas of mucoid bronchial or bronchiolar impaction. Tree in bud nodules indicate the diffuse bronchiolitis that typically occurs in cystic fibrosis. In addition, a mosaic pattern of attenuation secondary to air trapping due to obstructed bronchi and bronchioles is commonly seen.
