“…Repeated culture negative for common bacterial and fungal pathogens is often attributed wrongly to the broad spectrum antibiotics that are empirically administered to these septic patients. Many of the cases reported in the literature have been diagnosed post mortem [6,7]. Fortunately in our patient, the histopathological examination pointed towards Mycobacterial etiology and antibiotics were changed to anti tubercular drugs.…”

Septic shock resulting from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) occurs only rarely, even among patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. We report a case of fulminant TB sepsis in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus infection. This case illustrates the hazards of corticosteroid use as a part of empirical treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, as well as the unique appearance of TB on chest x-ray films.

“…and cryptic miliary lesions are probably much more frequent. Overwhelming miliary TB can produce a syndrome resembling septic shock with multisystem organ failure (64). Patients lacking a miliary pattem on chest roentgenogram are at particular risk of dying before the TB is recognized or treated empirically.…”

Tuberculosis (TB) remains uniquely important among acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated opportunistic infections: it presents the greatest public health hazard worldwide, is the most readily curable, and is largely preventable with existing means. Given the expanding pool of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive persons, particularly in developing nations whereMycobacterium tuberculosisremains a leading health problem, one can expect a continued rise in TB cases during the 1990s. Global efforts to eliminate TB are now inextricably entwined with the effectiveness of measures to curtail the HIV epidemic.Mycobacterium aviumcomplex infection, currently an intractable late complication ofaids, may increase in clinical importance as success in managing other opportunistic infections and HIV disease itself improves. Understanding of the pathogenesis and management of mycobacterial diseases should increase rapidly given the renewed research spurred on by the advent of HIV.
