A Case of Tuberculous Otitis Media

Chronic otorrhea is an uncommon but a frustrating condition to manage. Usually children with chronic otorrhea seek medical attention on multiple occasions and are treated with a variety of antibiotics. When a patient, particularly an immigrant, presents with otitis media that does not respond to the usual therapy, tuberculous (TB) otitis media should be considered in the differential diagnosis and appropriate investigations ordered. A delay in diagnosis and treatment of TB otitis media may result in serious complications. In this case report we present a toddler with chronic otorrhea, who was found to have TB otits media, and we also review the literature on TB otitis media.
