Аннотация
We report a case of extensive pulmonary destruction due to delayed effective pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) treatment in an adult artisanal miner in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Xpert MTB/RIF was positive after his second rifampicin-susceptible TB treatment. Chest X-rays were suggestive of large cavity, fibrosis of remaining lung and air-fluid levels at the base of the destroyed lung. The patient passed away after delayed effective TB regimens. Clinicians should be aware that urgent surgical intervention is often required to prevent lethal acute respiratory failure and shock notwithstanding effective chemotherapy in such condition. Effort is needed to timely diagnose multidrug resistance TB and to implement thoracic surgery for TB in high burden countries.
