Abstract

Ear localization is sometimes the first symptom of tuberculosis. Case report We report a case of a teen with a chronic otitis revealing a disseminated tuberculosis. The investigations showed ear, bones and pulmonary localisations. The outcome with treatment showed a persistent hearing loss. Conclusion Middle ear tuberculosis should be suspected in patients with chronic otitis and risk factors of tuberculosis. A disseminated tuberculosis should be investigated and an early treatment is necessary to prevent hearing loss.
