[Tuberculosis of the middle ear].
Tuberculosis is rare in Israel, especially that of the middle ear. Its rarity leads to both underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. Since tuberculosis is treatable, diagnosis is of the utmost importance. The recent wave of immigration from countries in which tuberculosis is endemic may confront us with more cases of tuberculosis of this type.
