Abstract

Cervical lymphadenitis is a common extra-pulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis in HIV patient; nevertheless, it seems that the primary Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) involving extra-pulmonary site is uncommon. We report a case of tubercular lymphadenitis by multi-drug resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an HIV seropositive male, which has not been reported so far in literature.
