Pak J Paed Surg Jan ;1-2:55-9.

Case of a girl aged 14 years is discussed. She was having cough, fever and dyspnea off and on for nine years. Radiographs of the chest showed diffuse - pulmonary involvement. She received antituberculous therapy for years repeatedly. Later on, she developed generalized edema, ascites and bilateral pleural effusion. Finally, lung and renal biopsies were taken. Histopathology revealed chronic granulomatous inflammation. Acid fast bacilli were also demonstrated in the lung tissue. Presence of amyloidosis was also confirmed in the submitted specimens on tripple staining. The girl ultimately died of renal failure.
