Abstract

Although prevalence of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis is increasing globally, only a few cases of drug-resistant extrapulmonary tuberculosis have been reported globally so far. Tubercular cold abscess is a form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis that is responsible for a significant morbidity and mortality. It is more challenging to the patient and clinician if the same occur due to multidrug-resistant strain of Mycobacterium. We report a case of multidrug-resistant tubercular cold abscess that is extremely rare in the literature.

Key words: Multidrug-resistant cold abscess, multidrug-resistant extrapulmonary tuberculosis, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
