Abstract
Pulmonary tuberculosis with the simultaneous development of the complications of empyema, multiloculated pyopneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum is rare. The development of these complications leads to remarkably increased incidence of morbidity and mortality in patients. So appropriate and timely management needs to be ensured for better outcomes.
