A patient with central nervous system tuberculomas and a history of disseminated multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The global rates and numbers of drug resistant TB are rising. With increasing globalization, the spread of drug-resistant strains of TB has become a mounting global public health conc...

description Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The global rates and numbers of drug resistant TB are rising. With increasing globalization, the spread of drug-resistant strains of TB has become a mounting global public health concern. We present a case of a young man previously treated for multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB in India who presented with neurological symptoms and central nervous system TB in the United States. His case highlights unique diagnostic and treatment challenges that are likely to become more commonplace with the increase of patients infected with drug-resistant TB and complicated extrapulmonary disease.
