Tuberculosis is an uncommon cause of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. We present a case of a middle-aged women with near-fatal respiratory failure due to underlying tuberculosis with favorable clinical recovery. Early diagnosis and treatment are imperative to prevent morbidity, mortality, and disease transmission.
