Abstract
In this article we present a case of a 75-year-old nonsmoker woman who was misdiagnosed as asthma-chronic obstructive airway disease overlap. The patient's history, examination and investigation confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and anthracofibrosis (AFB). Our case demonstrates the difficulties that clinicians face with when patients present with chronic wheeze without any other specific symptoms at the outset.
