Congenital tuberculosis (TB), tuberculous meningitis, and situs inversus totalis are rare diseases. We here report a patient who simultaneously suffered from these three rare diseases. There is currently no such report in the literature. Congenital TB is easily misdiagnosed and has a high case fatality rate. Timely anti-TB treatment is required.
