LIZANDRA-ORERO, Ester. Tuberculosis, sarcoidosis or maybe both?. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.4, pp.354-357.  Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 2386-8201.  https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/rcmf.160410.

We report a case study of a 34-year-old patient with a simultaneous diagnosis of sarcoidosis and tuberculosis. The patient was not immunosuppressed and did not have risk factors for this. This is a very rare finding, and when it appears it is usually due to immunosuppression caused by corticosteroid treatment of sarcoidosis. In the case reported below, this does not occur, which is why it is relevant. To make both diagnoses, the necessary complementary tests were performed (blood tests, transbronchial biopsies, imaging tests, thoracentesis and pleural biopsies), which enabled appropriate treatment to be established and, consequently, the patient’s improvement. Reporting this case enables us to emphasize the importance of making a good diagnosis in A&E, emphasizing all direct and indirect signs and symptoms.
