<h2>Abstract</h2> Pulmonary sequestration is a relatively rare malformation. Infection with common pyogenes is a frequent feature in the evolution of this disease. We report a case of intralobar sequestration infected with <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> in the absence of any other site of tuberculous infection. The patient underwent surgical removal of the affected lobe and subsequent antituberculous chemotherapy. At 1-year follow-up his clinical status is excellent.
