Hypercalcemia or a calcium level above 10.5 mg/dL can be a manifestation of TB that only became symptomatic in a small percentage of the patients. Patients with underlying diseases such as renal failure are more prone to poor prognosis. It is essential to use anti-TB drugs besides hypercalcemia standard treatment to maintain a normal calcium level in TB-related hypercalcemia. In thisstudy, we have presented a young adult with disseminated TB and persistent hypercalcemia who responded finally to anti-TB drugs.
