[Pulmonary and osteoarticular tuberculosis].

Tuberculosis is an important illness with an increasing prevalence in the last years in part due to AIDS. Considered primarily a pulmonary disease, tuberculosis can also affect almost any body system (nervous, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal as well as bones and joints) through lymphohematogenous spread. The authors present a case of pulmonary and osteoarticular tuberculosis diagnosed simultaneously.
