The prevalence of tuberculosis, especially extrapulmonary tuberculosis is increasing worldwide. TB meningitis is one of severe manifestations of extra pulmonary TB. Prognosis of cases of multidrug resistance tuberculosis meningitis is worse and even more challenging in pregnant women. It’s mostly associated with increased frequency of maternal disability, hospitalisation during pregnancy, foetal growth retardation, prematurity, low-birth weight and increased perinatal mortality. As information on outcome of pregnancy among women with extra pulmonary TB is limited; various medical and surgical options for timely management has been discussed. Authors bring out a case report of a primigravida at 26 weeks gestation with severe multidrug resistant TB meningitis who was successfully managed at our hospital with a healthy infant.

<p>Osteoarticular tuberculosis comprises 10-15% of the all cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Tubercular involvement of the sternoclavicular joint is very rare. We hereby present a rare case report of the 38 year old female with sternoclavicular joint tuberculosis with cold abscess. The diagnosis was confirmed by FNAC and on ZN staining AFB was isolated. Patient was managed successfully by the anti-tubercular therapy at the end of the treatment. So, a degree of suspicion of the tuberculosis at these rare sites along with investigation followed by anti-tubercular therapy leads to successful treatment of the disease.<strong></strong></p>
