- Abstract
A case of disseminated tuberculosis presented with fever, cough, and severe anaemia. Patient was initially diagnosed to have miliary tuberculosis based on radiological findings and bone marrow examination. Miliary tuberculosis is not a rare presentation of tuberculosis in India. Haematological malignancies and miliary tuberculosis may have many common presenting clinical symptoms, which may lead to masking of the underlying haematological malignancy. We hereby report a case of miliary tuberculosis which was later diagnosed to be a case of hairy cell leukaemia also.
