Abstract

Lady Windermere syndrome was defined more than 20 years ago by Reich and Johnson who used this term to describe pulmonary infection by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) limited to the middle lobe and/or lingula. We present a case of a 95-year-old woman, with no history of known pulmonary disease, presenting with constitutional syndrome and chronic cough, diagnosed with MAC infection in these areas.
