Abstract
Tuberculosis of the middle ear and mastoid is currently a rare disease in developed countries, but this disease still occurs and may cause serious consequences. We report a case of disseminated tuberculosis involving the middle ear, mastoid, lung and central nervous system. Tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic ear drainage, especially in young children.
