Abstract

Paradoxical reactions (PR) during tuberculosis treatment are rare in HIV negative subjects and result in polymorphic clinical presentations which could sometimes lead to confusion. We report the case of a postpartum mother, HIV negative who was placed on treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. She experienced transient clinical improvement and developed PR which mimicked lung malignancy. This is a rare phenomenon and may result in diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma in resource poor settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
