Abstract
Tuberculosis is a real public health problem still rampant in an endemic fashion in developing countries. Multifocal forms are observed in immunocompromised patients but can also be observed in immunocompetent subjects. Often misleading aspects, and which can mislead the diagnosis. The authors reported the case of a 32-year-old young man with no particular medical history, immunocompetent, received with acute obstructive renal failure from the outset anuric associated with orchiepididymitis, pulmonary and vertebral involvement on CT scan without physical signs, progressing well under treatment. This form of multifocal tuberculosis can be life-threatening and requires early diagnosis and urgent management.
