[Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute anergic tuberculosis, multiple caseous adenitis (author's transl)].
The authors report an exceptional case of hematopoietic tuberculosis complicating a chronic lymphocytic leukemia, developing at first an acute tuberculous septicemia then a caseous disease of lymph glands. The usual difficulties of the diagnosis were increased by the underlying blood disease and it was done mainly thanks to an osteo-medullary biopsy and to the results of the specific proof treatment.
