Abstract

© 2018, Medical Association of Thailand. All rights reserved. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an unusual and rare manifestation of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The mortality rate of TB with respiratory failure is high. We report a patient who had an initial manifestation mimicking severe bacterial pneumonia with ARDS not responding to antibacterial therapy. Acid-fast bacilli and M. tuberculosis isolates were identified from tracheal aspiration and bronchoalvelolar lavage. Intensive respiratory care and early anti-tuberculosis therapy provided a good clinical outcome.
