Tuberculosis is a leading cause of death due to infectious etiology worldwide. Myriad presentations and multisystem involvement of the disease can make the diagnosis extremely challenging. Venous thromboembolism is an uncommon entity in tuberculosis. The prevalence of venous thromboembolism is reported to be 1.5-3.4%. The etiology of thrombosis could be multifactorial. All the elements of Virchow's triad can be present in these patients. This case report is about a patient presenting with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), who was subsequently diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis.
