Tuberculosis of the middle ear and nasal passage: A case report
2013
Safaa Lmekki | Jean Baptiste Lecanu
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 (10 mg/kg), isoniazid (5 mg/kg) and pyrazinamide (25 mg/kg) for 9 months. 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.
