Abstract

A case of neuromyelitis optica and acute pulmonary tuberculosis in a 22 year old moroccan girl is reported. Regression of the medullary lesion and high level gamma globulin inflammatory CSF bring this case close to multiple sclerosis. The association with acute pulmonary tuberculosis suggest an acute demyelinisation caused by an immunologic reaction.
