Abstract
Increasing incidences of tubercular infections in developing countries has become a cause of concern. The extra-pulmonary tuberculosis is more commonly seen in malnourished and immuno-compromised susceptible individuals. We report a case of young female who worked as a commercial sex worker suffering from disseminated miliary TB with secondary involvement of mid facial skeleton. This case report highlights a lack of healthcare facilities and general apathy of society for these neglected sections of society.
