An 11-year-old boy presented with a 4-week history of fever and 2 weeks later developed a cough with breathlessness. His chest X-ray showed bilateral miliary shadows with pneumothorax on the left side. While on antituberculous therapy which was started on admission, he developed right-sided pneumothorax with significant collapse of the left lung. He was managed by tube thoracotomy with underwater seal but died 4 hours after the procedure was completed.
