TUBERCULOSIS AND RECURRENT POSTOPERATIVE WOUND INFECTION
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 23
Abstract
We report a case of post operative repeated wound infection due to Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. A 25 yr old woman presented to us with watery discharge from Caesarean section wound, done elsewhere 3 months ago. Discharge from the wound showed Acid fast bacilli on Ziehl Neelsen stain, and Histopathology report confirmed tubercular infection. Patient was treated with standard anti tubercular drugs, and is responding well to treatment. A high degree of suspicion is required for exact identification of unusual pathogens in cases of recurrent postoperative wound infection
