Abstract

The article describes a rare localization of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in the form of a unilateral lesion of the middle ear in a 47-year-old woman without immunodeficiency, but having a history of pulmonary tuberculosis with residual changes. Sluggish middle purulent otitis media in the patient for 1.5 years was regarded as nonspecific, and only surgical intervention with histological examination of the surgical material made it possible to establish a tuberculous etiology of the process.

Keywords

tuberculosis, otitis media, hearing loss.
