Two days prior to admission over one thousand hens died due to bird flu in her house. Chest x-ray revealed presentations like pneumonia, but pneumonia did not response to antibacterial and antiviral drugs and blood and sputum cultures were negative, PPD skin test was done with 20 millimeter induration, and gastric juice staining for mycobacterial bacilli was done that was positive, thus she improved with anti-tuberculosis drugs.CONCLUSION: Pulmonary tuberculosis can present with several unusual pictures and if represent acutely must be differentiated from bacterial or viral pneumonia.
