Primary Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis Involving Unique Extra Pulmonary Site
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Prevalence of MDR among patients of extra pulmonary tuberculosis is less than 3% in Indian population. Isolated primary MDR tuberculosis of knee is rarely reported. We report a case of isolated primary MDR tuberculosis of the left knee in a 24 year old previously fit Indian male. This case emphasizes the need to exclude drug resistance in primary extra pulmonary tuberculosis cases and to keep tuberculosis among differential diagnosis for diseases involving any organ system of the body.
