Abstract
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a rare but severe compli cation of miliary tuberculosis, which may appear even after introducti on of antituberculosis therapy, Mortality has been reported to be as h igh as 100% if there is associated pancytopenia. We report a case of a patient infected with the human immunodeficiency virus who presented with miliary tuberculosis associated with pancytopenia and adult respi ratory distress syndrome.
