Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: The incidence of tuberculosis is increasing, particularly in the elderly, and has various clinical presentations.
EXEGESIS: We describe the case of a 78-year-old woman who presented tuberculous pleuropericarditis. This case is atypical, due to infection localisation, negativity of the tuberculin skin test, and mixed pleural effusion. Following antituberculosis antibiotic therapy and corticotherapy, the outcome was favorable.
CONCLUSION: Due to atypical and non-specific clinical presentation, diagnosis of tuberculosis may be particularly difficult in the elderly.
