Description
Summary:Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a major challenge for the World Health Organization. Its growing incidence and the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties make it a public health problem especially in the developing countries. We report two cases of extrapulmonary drug-resistant tuberculosis (nodal and osteo-articular) and five cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (pleural, nodal, anal and neuro-meningeal) in hospitalized patients at the Hopital Moulay Youssef in Rabat. This study reports the issue of drug-resistant TB and highlights the role of genotypic tests in the diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
