A Century-Old Threat: Disseminated Tuberculosis in a Healthy Host – Case Report

Disseminated tuberculosis (dTB) is usually rare in immunocompetent individuals. We report a case of dTB presented with constitutional symptoms and extensive lymphadenopathy with bilateral lung parenchymal airspace opacities. Histopathological and molecular methods confirmed the etiological agent - Mycobacterium tuberculosis. She was started on first-line antitubercular treatment and she had significant clinical recovery.

Abstract

Disseminated tuberculosis (dTB) is usually rare in immunocompetent individuals. We report a case of dTB presented with constitutional symptoms and extensive lymphadenopathy with bilateral lung parenchymal airspace opacities. Histopathological and molecular methods confirmed the etiological agent - Mycobacterium tuberculosis. She was started on first-line antitubercular treatment and she had significant clinical recovery.
