TY - JOUR AU - Yadav, Sankalp AU - Rawal, Gautam PY - 2016 TI - Primary extrapulmonary multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in an immunocompetent child presenting with pleural effusion JF - Translational Pediatrics; Vol 6, No 1 (January 13, 2017): Translational Pediatrics Y2 - 2016 KW - N2 - The developing countries are having a number of public health issues. The situation in these resource-limited countries is scary due to the huge burden of infectious diseases like tuberculosis (TB). The latest reports from the WHO shows a high number of drug resistant cases even in the pediatric age groups. Also, the lack of suspicion of drug resistant TB (DR-TB) in the pediatric cases, especially in the absence of a past or family history may lead to delay in diagnosis and flaring-up of the disease. We herein present the very first case of the primary multidrug-resistant TB in an HIV negative child who presented with the left sided pleural effusion.
