Description
This is the first report of paradoxical worsening of miliary tuberculosis following rubella infection. We suspect that immunological mechanisms were impaired by rubella infection and pulmonary TB rapidly deteriorated thereafter. This paradoxical worsening of lymphadenopathy was refractory to antituberculous therapy without drug resistance.
