Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease marked by immune irregularities, vasculopathy, and excessive collagen production, leading to fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. While SSc can affect multiple organs and systems, lung involvement, particularly interstitial lung disease (ILD), is the primary cause of mortality in this condition. We present here an interesting case of a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease.
