“在350年前的朝鲜古墓中发现的中年女性木乃伊中发现了钙化的肺结节。在CT扫描中，我们发现右肺6个不透射线的结节，穿过胸椎1至6节。我们也发现右侧胸腔的CT图像推定胸腔粘连。我们通过对同一具木乃伊的解剖，再次证实了放射学的发现。通过鉴别诊断，我们推测不透明的钙化结节和相关的胸膜粘连可能是由肺结核引起的。这是第一次在考古获得的前现代韩国样本中发现肺结核。
We found calcified pulmonary nodules in a middle-aged female mummy discovered from 350-yr-old Joseon tomb of Korea. In the CT scan, we found six radiopaque nodules in right lung, through the levels of thoracic vertebrae 1 to 6. We also found presumptive pleural adhesions in right thoracic cavity of CT images. We re-confirmed radiological findings by our post-factum dissection on the same mummy. By the differential diagnosis, we speculate that the radiopaque calcification nodules and associated pleural adhesion could have been caused by tuberculosis. This is the first-ever report on the pulmonary tuberculosis identified in archaeologically obtained, pre-modern Korean samples.
