Tuberculosis of the middle ear and nasal passage: A case report

International Journal of Mycobacteriology
Safaa Lmekki, Jean Baptiste Lecanu

Abstract

The following report highlights the case of a 55-year-old female with nasal and middle ear tuberculosis. The diagnosis was confirmed using imagery, histopathological biopsy reports, and Polymerase chain reaction (TB-PCR). The patient was treated with rifampicin (10mg/kg), isoniazid (5mg/kg) and pyrazinamide (25mg/kg) for 9months. No recurrence was observed after one year of follow-up examination. Both nasal tuberculosis and tuberculous otitis media are currently considered rare diseases, yet if they are evaluated rapidly, there will be a good response to therapy without the need for surgery.
