Abstract
Relatamos um caso de isolamento de Mycobacterium tuberculosis de cateter venoso central. O paciente apresentava tuberculose miliar e nenhum sinal de imunossupressão. O tratamento com tuberculostáticos foi efetivo. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from a central venous catheter in a non-immunosuppressed patient with systemic tuberculosis. This case report represents a very uncommon form of isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A total improvement was obtained after treatment.
