A Case of Cervical Lymph Nodes and Pulmonary Tuberculosis Following Suspicious False Negative Response Induced by Moxifloxacin

Abstract

We report herein on the case of a 54 years old woman with tuberculosis of cervical lymph nodes and lungs. In general, New Quinolone sometimes causes a false negative reaction of tuberculosis. We have experienced suspicious false negative response induced by moxifloxacin. Examining PCR only, we could diagnose the lymph node tuberculosis. Nucleic Acid Amplification Test may be effective for the case of low viability of mycobacterium.
