Abstract

Disseminated Tuberculosis, quite common in immunocompromised patients is uncommon in the immune-competent and at times mistaken for severe immunosuppression or intra-abdominal malignancy. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is required even in the immune-competent to make a diagnosis. We present a case of disseminated Tuberculosis in an immunocompetent individual.
