Abstract:
If acute or severe infectious are know that risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE), the role active tuberculosis is ill defined, despite different case reports and many small case series have proposed an association between VTE and chronic infectious such as tuberculosis. We are highlighting an exceptional phenomenon correlation between intra-cardiac thromboembolism and pulmonary tuberculosis and concluded that active tuberculosis should include in the physician's evaluation of intra-cardiac thromboembolism risk.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
