Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2

We describe the successful management of a case of septic pulmonary embolism who was misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. Early suspicion and echocardiography helped to clinch the diagnosis. The case is supported by a concise review highlighting key points regarding its management
