Pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis spondylodiscitis in an immunocompetent patient: a case report

Pre-extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR-TB) has been an area of growing concern, and posing a threat to global efforts of TB control. We report a case of PreXDR-TB spondylodiscitis with resistance to a Fluoroquinolone, in an immunocompetent patient under antibacillary treatment for pleu...

Sumario:Pre-extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR-TB) has been an area of growing concern, and posing a threat to global efforts of TB control. We report a case of PreXDR-TB spondylodiscitis with resistance to a Fluoroquinolone, in an immunocompetent patient under antibacillary treatment for pleural tuberculosis, managed with drug sensitivity-based second-line antituberculous drug regimen. Our case shows the challenges of the diagnostic and management of Drug-resistant TB spondylodiscitis.
