Abstract:
We report a case of active tuberculosis in a patient with Hodgkin's disease. The two diagnoses were established simultaneously at the Respiratory Disease Unit of the Yalgado National Hospital, Burkina Faso. The clinical presentation was misleading as the signs and symptoms of the two disease are similar. Certain diagnosis was established after isolation of tuberculosis bacilli and histocytology findings for Hodgkin's disease. Both diseases are potentially curable. The clinical course depends on early diagnosis and treatment.
