[Bilateral middle ear tuberculosis and morphologically unusual lung tuberculosis in an 11-year-old boy].
A 11 year old boy presented with chronic otorrhea and hearing impairment. After repeated tympanorevision macroscopic findings suggested the presence of middle ear tuberculosis. Chest X-ray revealed unusual abnormalities which in conjunction with normal pulmonary function and overall well-being did not support concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis. However, microbiological investigations verified this diagnosis in both sites, and proper tuberculostatic treatment proved successful.
