[A case of Reiche's tuberculosis, acute tuberculosis with hematologic manifestations]

The authors report a case of tuberculosis in a 39 year old male who had a past history of tuberculosis with a relapse 10 years later. This relapse was in an acute form which was both pulmonary and haematological, producing an acute tuberculosis of Reiche in its cytopenic form. Anti-tuberculous treatment did not prevent the patient dying 49 days after the presentation of the disease.
