Abstract:
A paediatric case of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in which endo-oesophageal ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration using an endobronchial ultrasound-guided bronchoscope was used to collect a sample for microbial analyses is presented. In our experience, ultrasound-guided sampling techniques, both endo-oesophageal and endobronchial, can be safely used for the diagnosis of paediatric intrathoracic tuberculous lymphadenopathy in children aged 3 years. Interventional pulmonologists with experience in using these techniques should be part of the multidisciplinary team treating these patients.
