Abstract
|
|
|
|
The early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculous otitis media can prevent it from becoming irreversible and spread to other organs. Only 0.04% of chronic suppurative otitis medias are tuberculous origin, so that the index of suspicion is often low. The clinical signs of the disease have changed in recent years, making it more difficult to recognize and thus investigate for. False negatives for culture often occur, due both to the fastidious nature of the tuberculous bacilli, and other bacteria in the specimen interfering with the growth of bacilli. Recently, We experienced four cases of pathologically confirmed primary tuberculous otitis media without pulmonary involvement, so report these cases with review of literature.
