Abstract
Three cases of septic shock due to acute disseminated military tubercu losis are reported. Circulatory disturbances characteristic of septic shock were hemodynamically confirmed by right-sided cardiac catheteriz ation without other demonstrable systemic infection. None of the patie nts was infected with the HIV. The two patients treated with anti-tube rculous drugs survived.
