| Abstract: | Peripheral vascular disease in African males may be associated with a tuberculous infection elsewhere in the body. The case history is described of a patient who presented with gangrenous lesions of both feet and was found to have tuberculosis of the liver. The lesions on the feet healed within 2 months of starting anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. |
