Abstract Miliary tuberculosis is a disseminated and active form of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It frequently affects immunocompromised patients. However, immune‐competent hosts are reported rarely. Herein, we reported a case of miliary tuberculosis of a 40‐year‐old immune‐competent Bangladeshi man presented with pyrexia of unknown origin.
