Abstract

Although the overall prevalence of tuberculosis has decreased in the United States, with the increasing prevalence of tuberculosis globally, higher rates of tuberculosis in some states and localities have been reported, with some component probably related to immigrant populations.  We report a case of primary pulmonary tuberculosis in a malnourished adolescent.
