Abstract: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a major flail of mankind, 1/3 of the world population is infected. In Morocco, the incidence is estimated by the Word Health Organization to 89 cases per 100 000 inhabitants. However, gunshot assaults are rare. Many circumstances of discovery of tuberculosis were described. We present the case of an incidental finding of pulmonary tuberculosis in a young patient victim of a gun attack.
