Abstract
Key Clinical MessageWe report the case of chyluria secondary to disseminated tuberculosis in a 13‐year‐old female child who presented with passage of white colored urine since 5 months, progressive weight loss for 3 months, abdominal distension for 2 months, generalized swelling of body for 15 days, and pain in abdomen for 10 days. Child had good recovery following treatment with antitubercular drugs. Though chyluria is uncommon in children, tuberculosis could be considered as a differential, after ruling out filariasis.
