[Acute, lethal miliary tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium bovis].
The authors report a case of lethal acute miliary with bovine tuberculous bacilli. They stress the main characteristics of this exceptional observation :--difficulties in isolating and identifying,--favourable disposition linked to age and to a depressed cellular immunity,--pathogenic interest in the mechanisms of late endogenous reinfestation and of suffocating acute evolution.
