Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) of upper respiratory tract is a rather rare seen. Because it has atypical of symptom and finding, and diagnosis is difficult, it is still an important clinical problem. Tuberculosis bacillus can settle on oral mucosa, tonsil, tongue, nose, epiglottis, larynx, and pharynx. TB of upper respiratory tract usually accompanies to pulmonary TB. But it can be rarely seen without pulmonary TB result of hematogen spread. A 61-year-old female is presented in this study that admitted with ear congestion, loss of hearing, sleeping with an open mouth, snoring, weakness and night sweat, and diagnosed as nasopharynx TB after histopathological and microbiological examination.

Özet

Üst solunum yollarının tüberkülozu (TB) oldukça nadir olup, semptom ve bulgularının çok tipik olmaması ve tanıda güçlük çekilmesi nedeniyle halen önemli bir klinik sorundur. Tüberküloz basili ağız mukozasında, tonsillerde, dilde, burunda, epiglotta, larenks ve farenkste yerleşebilir. Üst solunum yolları TB, genellikle akciğer TB’na eşlik eder. Ancak hematojen yayılım sonucu, nadiren de olsa akciğer TB olmaksızın görülebilir. Bu çalışmada; kulakta tıkanıklık, işitme azlığı, ağzı açık uyuma, horlama, halsizlik ve gece terlemesi şikayetleri ile başvuran, histopatolojik ve mikrobiyolojik inceleme ile nazofarenks TB tanısı konan 61 yaşında bayan bir olgu sunulmuştur.
