Abstract:A patient with pleural, epididymal and sternoclavicular tuberculosis is described in whom the history suggests that primary infection occurred near the time when he was involved in a fight. Epididymal and sternoclavicular lesions represent infection of loci minoris resistentiae secondary to traumatic injuries sustained in the fight and provide evidence for the concept of tuberculous bacillaemia accompanying primary infection.
