Abstrakt:	We report the first two cases of tuberculous coinfection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. canettii . Both patients were young Djiboutian females with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). One had a miliary pattern with concomitant human immunodeficiency virus infection. Both recovered completely with a standard four-drug anti-tuberculosis treatment regimen. Due to the different natural reservoirs and routes of infection of these two strains, our study supports the common belief that multiple strains of infection in TB are related to superinfection rather than concomitant infection.
