[A new case of associated sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, or the close relationship between 2 granulomatous diseases...].
The case reported here concerns a 30-year old male patient who had both very severe, multivisceral tuberculosis and equally severe sarcoidosis, with repercussions on the respiratory function that required corticosteroid therapy. Prolonged anti-tuberculous therapy and corticosteroids gave favourable results. This case is remindful of an old debate which opposed the two diseases on account of their histological lesions. It offers a new example of the severity of tuberculosis in "immunocompromised" patients, and it raises anew the still unresolved problem of the individuality of sarcoidosis in pulmonary pathology.
