Abstract:
The authors report a case of bilateral psoas abscess without spondylodiscitis, occurring in the course of an advanced pleuro-pulmonary tuberculosis. The dual bacteriological composition of the pus with an aero-anaerobic flora on direct examination, and mycobacterium tuberculosis in the culture, as well as the presence of an obstructive appendicitis noticed during the surgery, open the discussion of its pathogenesis.
