Tuberculosis still remains a major public health problem, particularly in developing countries. We report 11 year old Indian boy who presented with low grade fever, weight loss, hepatomegaly, ascites and petechial spots for past 6 weeks associated with pancytopaenia. Subsequently, bone marrow biopsy from the iliac crest revealed an epithelioid cell granuloma with hypercellularity. This is a rare presentation where disseminated tuberculosis presented as pancytopaenia. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v33i1.7577 J Nepal Paediatr Soc. 2013;33(1):52-54

We herein report a rare case of a 25-year-old immunocompetent male patient with disseminated tuberculosis of central nervous system (CNS), first presenting as multiple cerebral lesions with no meningeal involvement. Subsequent diagnostic workup disclosed extensive peritoneal involvement. A broad differential diagnosis was considered, including neoplastic and infectious diseases. The diagnosis was confirmed with positive PCR result for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the biopsied mesenteric tissue. The patient was started on tuberculostatic regimen with favorable outcome. No acquired or hereditary immunodeficiency was documented. Disseminated tuberculosis in immunocompetent individuals is extremely rare. Genetic susceptibility factors have been reported in individuals with extensive forms of the disease and a high index of suspicion is required, as observed in our case.
