We report an immunocompromised patient who presented with necrotizing fasciitis as the initial presentation of miliary tuberculosis. The diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis was delayed resulting in prolonged morbidity and hospital stay. The lesson from this report is that tuberculosis should be recognised as an uncommon cause of necrotizing fasciitis in an immunocompromised patient, especially if the response to prompt and standard initial treatment is unsatisfactory.
