[Positive conversion of AARB results in gastric lavage, in a child with AIDS and tuberculosis, after endoscopic endobronchial puncture].
A case of tuberculosis in a pediatric AIDS patient, submitted to bronchoscopy and transbronchial biopsy as a part of chronic pulmonary disease evaluation, is presented. No AFB (acid-fast bacillus) detection was identified by gastric lavage before the bronchoscopy, nevertheless after the bronchoscopic procedure the patient became contagious, and persisted with positive baciloscopy until the 56th day of therapy.
