    Severe hypercalcemia developed in a patient with active pulmonary tuberculosis during standard treatment. This case highlights the potential link between tuberculosis and high calcium levels, exploring its causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Internal Medicine
    • Pulmonology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern.
    • Hypercalcemia, or elevated calcium levels, can have various causes and complications.

    Observation:

    • A patient with active pulmonary tuberculosis developed severe hypercalcemia.
    • This complication arose after initiating standard antitubercular therapy.

    Findings:

    • The case suggests a potential association between active pulmonary tuberculosis and the development of hypercalcemia.
    • Review of literature indicates proposed pathogenic mechanisms linking these conditions.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider hypercalcemia as a potential complication in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis.
