Abstract

A 58-year-old woman with no known previous contact with tuberculosis complained of right otorrhea and hearing loss but no facial nerve paralysis. Her tuberculin test was positive, but her chest X-ray showed no signs of lung tuberculosis. Tympanoplasty was performed, and antituberculous chemotherapy (RFP, INH, EB) was given for nine months.Antituberculous chemotherapy reduce the need for a destructive surgical procedure and allow more conservative tympanoplastic procedures to be carried out.
