Then, a right upper lobectomy was performed after chemotherapy because of poor response against the administra tion of antituberculosis agents.<BR>The existence of acid-fast bacilli in a lesion was recognized with Ziel-Neelsen stain of the lung specimen obtained by operation, although no growth was observed on culture.
