The authors report the case of a patient suffering from chemical pneumonia due to nitrous gases of occupational origin which was mistakenly taken for military tuberculosis. Anamnestic, clinical and anatomopathological aspects of this disease, which successively analysed, often make the diagnosis difficult due to their complexity and lack of specificity.
