Abstract
Primary naso-sinusal tuberculosis (TB) is a relatively rare or exceptional disorder characterized by polymorphic or non-specific clinical manifestation. Diagnosis is based on anatomo-pathological examination and mycobacteriology test of biopsy specimen. Predictor of good outcome is early conventional anti-tuberculous antibiotic therapy. However, our study reports recurrence at this rare site in an immunocompetent patient despite early suitable TB treatment and good adherence with therapy. Relapse was correlated with underdosing of rifampicin. This study highlights the diagnostic, etiological and therapeutic management of this relapse. Our experience could help clinicians to better manage this uncommon condition. © Adil Zegmout et al.Entities:
