Here we report a patient of active pulmonary tuberculosis with sputum positive for acid fast bacilli along with densely calcified constrictive pericarditis which has been reported as a very rare presentation in the literature.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmsn.v10i2.12955">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmsn.v10i2.12955</a></p> <p>Journal of College of Medical Sciences-Nepal, 2014, Vol.10(2); 41-43</p>
