  • Title: Tuberculous bacillemia, hyperpyrexia, and rapid death.
    Author: Pasculle AW, Kapadia SB, Ho M.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1980 Mar; 140(3):426-7. PubMed ID: 6767459.
    Abstract:
    Hyperpyrexia, followed rapidly by multiple organ failure and death, developed in a previously healthy man. Postmortem examination indicated disseminated tuberculosis with adrenal involvement, but also evidence compatible with heat stroke. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from a routine blood culture. The patient's symptoms may have been the result of his bacillemia or the result of unapparent tuberculous chronic adrenocortical insufficiency that made him unusually sensitive to heat.
