    AbstractThe increase in the incidence of tuberculosis infection in the last few years has caused a recurrence of atypical clinical forms, as well as the development of associations and uncommon complications during the clinical course, which include the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and septic shock. Three patients with ARDS are here reported; two patients had findings of septic shock and negative serology to human immunodeficiency virus and the only etiological agent documented was M. tuberculosis. The three patients required hemodynamic support and two of them mechanical ventilation. None of the patients survived the episode. Tuberculosis, particularly the disseminated forms, should be considered as possible etiology in high risk patients with septic shock, ARDS or both.
