  • Title: Pancreatic mass caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis with reduced drug sensitivity.
    Author: Small G, Wilks D.
    Journal: J Infect; 2001 Apr; 42(3):201-2. PubMed ID: 11545552.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare condition which should be considered in patients with a pancreatic mass, particularly if the patient is young, not jaundiced, from an area of high TB prevalence with a normal ERCP. We report a case of pancreatic tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis with reduced sensitivity to rifampicin and isoniazid, that was treated with rifabutin, ciprofloxacin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide following clinical failure of first-line therapy. The case presented illustrates the importance of obtaining material for culture and sensitivity testing in cases of suspected TB.
