ABSTRACT
An unconscious 50-year old man with symptoms of pneumonia who was suspected of having tuberculosis was studied. The clinical manifestations, chest radiography, CT scan and isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from pulmonary aspirates indicated tuberculous meningitis. Therefore, he was treated with antituberculosis drugs. In spite of treatment, the patient's condition worsened and further treatment was ineffective, and the patient died soon after. Serological studies were performed, the results of which indicated co-infection with legionellosis
