Abstract
The geriatric population is predisposed to the development of pulmonary tuberculosis (PT), both by endogenous and exogenous factors. Regarding for peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in this same age group, the clinical manifestations are related to the loss of weight and to the depreciation of the general state; a situation that provokes reactivation of PT, causing a more severe clinical picture, not only due to the association of the two pathologies, but also by the age group itself. In this case report, we present a 97-year-old woman with an unexpected association of pulmonary tuberculosis and DUP.
