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. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajmcr/4/7/6/ajmcr-4-7-6.pdf myelofibrosis tuberculosis
