Abstract

Miliary tuberculosis is a disseminated and active form of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It frequently affects immunocompromised patients. However, immune-competent hosts are reported rarely. Herein, we reported a case of miliary tuberculosis of a 40-year-old immune-competent Bangladeshi man presented with pyrexia of unknown origin.

Keywords: Bangladeshi; PUO; immune‐competent; miliary tuberculosis.
