ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is still a public health problem today and can have acute and chronic manifestations challenging clinics for various medical specialties. Because it's a disease of multisystem potential, it is often overlooked when outside the respiratory clinical context. As a result, a clinical case report was carried out at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, in 2020, of a patient with voluminous gastrointestinal bleeding as severe acute clinical manifestation of Miliary and Intestinal Tuberculosis. Due to the potential severity of undiagnosed and untreated tuberculosis, high suspicion is suggested at all levels of health systems (whether public or private) with a view to early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of complications resulting from the disease.
