Abstract:
Disseminated tuberculosis is a rare form of tuberculosis that can cause severe illness if diagnosed and treated late. We present the case of a young Senegalese woman who had a miscarriage due to a pelvic inflammatory disease, followed by the development of a left pleural effusion. Despite laparoscopic findings and a salpinx biopsy that revealed necrotizing granulomas, only microbiological examinations of pleural biopsies revealed the final diagnosis of disseminated, drug-sensitive tuberculosis.
