Abstract


We report a case of disseminated tuberculosis caused by a vaccine strain of tuberculosis in a five-month-old infant that presented as severe systemic infection. Unfortunately, the infant died five days after admission. After the patient’s death, the diagnosis was made based on pathohistological changes and a pharyngeal aspirate culture.
