Abstract
A 59 year-old man presented with a 2 months history of dorsal spinal pain and a right intercostal neuralgia. These symptoms were associated to asthenia, anorexia and loss of weight. The patient had no disease history including no concept of TB contagion or raw milk consumption. He had neither history of taking immunosuppressors nor of any disease indicative of immunodeficiency.
