Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) incidence is rising.
  • Middle ear tuberculosis (tuberculous otitis media) is an uncommon presentation.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for TB management.

Observation:

  • Five cases of tuberculous otitis media were identified over 25 years at the University of Ferrara.
  • Clinical manifestations and symptomatic presentations varied.
  • Diagnosis often requires a high index of suspicion.

Findings:

  • Tuberculous otitis media presents with diverse clinical and symptomatic features.
  • Diagnostic challenges exist due to its rarity and non-specific symptoms.
  • Timely diagnosis facilitates appropriate therapeutic interventions.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of middle ear TB is needed among clinicians.
  • Diagnostic protocols may require refinement for extrapulmonary TB.
  • Prompt treatment can improve patient outcomes and prevent complications.
