Abstract
Severe cases of tuberculosis can cause vital functional disturbances depending on the stage of the disease and the organ manifestation. There is a particularly high mortality rate in intensive care patients with tuberculosis. Extrapulmonary organ manifestations of this disease in particular can be associated with misdiagnosis and fatal outcome. In this article the intensive care treatment of a patient who suffered from abdominal as well as pulmonary tuberculosis is reported.
