Diagnosis of tuberculosis and/or mycobacteria infection is particularly difficult in immunocompromised patients. ⋯ Tuberculosis was found in 8% of hair cell leukemia patients. In hairy cell leukemia, tuberculosis is characterized by few pulmonary symptoms and scarse microbiological documentation. In contrast, histopathology is very interesting to confirm diagnosis. Tuberculosis is in most cases disseminated and in particular hematopoietic diffusions is always present. In spite of existensive localization, the prognosis remains excellent and all patients can be cured. In our opinion, this good prognosis may be linked to the improvement of hairy cell leukemia treatment observed since the advent of interferon pentostatin and 2cdA.
