AbstractObjective:To report a rare case of tuberculous otitis media, and to highlight barriers to clinical and microbiological diagnosis.Method:Case report and literature review.Results:Tuberculous otitis media is a rare cause of chronic ear infection in the UK. Its symptoms may mimic a range of other otological conditions, including otitis media, chronic suppurative otitis media, cholesteatoma and necrotising otitis media.Conclusion:This case report highlights the challenges of obtaining a clinical diagnosis of tuberculous otitis media, and emphasises the fact that screening for acid-fast bacilli is not sufficient, in isolation, to rule out mycobacterial infection.

Delays In Diagnosis

Tuberculosis of the middle ear is a rare but treatable disease; however, delays in diagnosis and treatment usually lead to complications. Diagnosis is made difficult by most physicians being unfamiliar with the typical presenting features and special cultural and pathologic studies being required for diagnosis. A case report and literature review are presented, illustrating typical clinical, epidemiologic, and laboratory features, as well as complications and the treatment of tuberculous otitis media.

Tuberculous Otitis Media

AbstractTuberculosis of the middle ear is a rare disease. Due to a change in the typical clinical signs in recent years and the fact that the index of suspicion is low, there is frequently a considerable delay prior to diagnosis. This can lead to irreversible complications. A case of tuberculous otitis media is reported, re-emphasising the fact that this entity must be considered in the differential diagnosis of persistent suppurative otitis media.
