  • Title: Tuberculous otitis media with endobronchial tuberculosis.
    Author: Hwang KE, Kim SY, Chung JS, Lee SH, Choi KH, Park DS, Park SH, Jeong ET, Kim HR.
    Journal: J Infect Chemother; 2012 Dec; 18(6):951-4. PubMed ID: 22398882.
    Abstract:
    Although tuberculosis can affect various organs and tissues, the lung is the site most commonly involved. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) involves relatively inaccessible and variable sites and is consequently often overlooked by clinicians. The ear is a notably very rare site of EPTB, and the diagnosis is difficult because of the variable and confusing signs and symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which tuberculous otitis media and endobronchial tuberculosis coexisted.
