Case report: widespread tuberculosis in sickle cell disease.
We report a case of a patient with sickle cell disease who presented with mesenteric nodes and pulmonary TB and who subsequently relapsed on triple therapy and presented with disseminated tuberculous osteomyelitis and cervical lymphadenopathy. We emphasize the difficulty of establishing the diagnosis at all stages of presentation.
