Abstract
A case of tuberculous otitis media is reported. The patient is a 5-year-old girl, who complained of the left aural discharge and the swelling of the left cervical lymphnode. The otoscopic examination showed a whitish granulation and purulent discharge in the left ear. The results of the routine pure tone audiometry was a conductive hearing loss of 30-40 dB. Two months after the initial consultation, the diagnosis of tuberculous otitis media was established by culture of the aural discharge. After general administration of streptomycin, INAH and PAS, as well as topical application of streptomycin, the patient has been free from the aural drainage and the cervical lymphadenitis.
