Abstract
A clinical case of 23-year old female with pulmonary tuberculosis is described in this article. The patient was admitted to a hospital with preliminary diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia and negative TB test. Differential diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and community-acquired pneumonia is often difficult and could be more difficult in patients with co-existing specific (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and non-specific infection in the lungs.
