  ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis infections is a serious illness and can be life threatening for patients with hematologic malignancies. We are reporting the observations of two children aged 7 and 5 years undergoing anticancer treatment for hematological malignancies. The symptoms were, in the first case, cough, purulent sputum and signs of tuberculosis impregnation, for the second case, cervical adenopathies (PDA) with inflammatory signs. The evolution under antituberculosis treatment was favorable for both patients, with a 5-year follow-up for the first patient and one year for the second case. The tuberculosis did not affect chemotherapy. The goal of our work is to specify the etio-pathogenic mechanisms, the clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary particularities of this rare association.
