[Cardiac lesions in generalized hematogenic tuberculosis]

A case of a generalized hematogenous tuberculosis with exacerbation in a woman of 62 is described. The disease had an undulating course and was manifested by a rare combination of miliary lung tuberculosis with extrapulmonal lesions. The latter included cavernous spondylitis with two paravertebral abscesses, fibrinous pericarditis and a large-focal lesion in the myocardium.
