About an unusual systemic disorder: report of a cryptic miliary tuberculosis.
We report here the case of a young Chinese woman with cryptic miliary tuberculosis associated with acute hepatitis, pancytopenia, biological disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and hyponatremia. Following the introduction of a classic tuberculostatic treatment, her general status quickly improved. After an extensive review of the literature, this is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of cryptogenic miliary tuberculosis with all its cumulative complications.
