Diagnostic and therapeutic journey of infantile endobronchial tuberculosis: a case report
This case highlighted the unique coexistence of infantile EBTB, <i>IKZF1</i>-related immunodeficiency, and <i>P. jirovecii</i> coinfection. Early bronchoscopy played a pivotal diagnostic and therapeutic role. Repeated intraluminal bronchoscopic therapy combined with systemic treatment might prevent irreversible airway damage in severe pediatric EBTB.
