This report describes a case of mental confusion associated with ongoing adenitis and pulmonary tuberculosis in a 20-year-old man with no history of psychiatric disorders. Diagnosis was based on clinical and laboratory findings. Tranquillizers improved mental status and antituberculosis treatment was administered before referring the patient to an internal medicine department. The authors emphasize the rarity of these cases in the Senegalese medical literature and discuss possible diagnostic pitfalls.
