We report the case of chyluria secondary to disseminated tuberculosis in a 13-year-old female child who presented with passage of white colored urine since 5 months, progressive weight loss for 3 months, abdominal distension for 2 months, generalized swelling of body for 15 days, and pain in abdomen for 10 days. Child had good recovery following treatment with antitubercular drugs. Though chyluria is uncommon in children, tuberculosis could be considered as a differential, after ruling out filariasis.
我们报告了一例13岁女童因播散性肺结核继发乳糜尿的病例。该女童自5个月前开始出现白色尿液，3个月来体重逐渐减轻，2个月来腹胀，15天来全身肿胀，10天来腹痛。患儿经抗结核药物治疗后恢复良好。虽然乳糜尿在儿童中并不常见，但在排除丝虫病后，应考虑结核病作为鉴别诊断。
