摘要：

Chemotherapy is effective in the management of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, but patient tolerance and compliance to treatment as well as the susceptibility of the microorganism determine the success of treatment. In some patients, however, there is an unusual expansion or new formation of tuberculous lesions during treatment, and this reaction has been referred to as a ''paradoxical response.'' Although tuberculosis is common in Saudi Arabia, such incidents do not appear to have been reported. We describe a patient with military tuberculosis who reacted paradoxically to chemotherapy.
