BACKGROUNDPolyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a rare necrotizing vasculitis of medium and small size arteries. This primary vasculitis in pediatric populations may be triggered by infectious, mainly caused by Streptococcus. There are very few cases reported associated with tuberculosis, especially in adults. Therefore, we reported here a case of PAN possibly triggered after pulmonary tuberculosis.
