abstract={Myelofibrosis (MF), or fibrosis of the bone marrow, is an uncommon condition. Most cases arise secondary to other disease processes. However, whether tuberculosis can stimulate a secondary fibrotic reaction or develop in patients who have preexisting myeloproliferative disorders is not clear. Here we present a case of a 54-year-old man whose myelofibrosis disappeared completely after administration of antituberculous treatment. The purpose of reporting this case is to reconsider the relationship between tuberculosis and secondary myelofibrosis.},
