Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health issue.
  • Aural TB, while rare, presents diagnostic challenges in otolaryngology.
  • Chronic otitis media can sometimes mask or mimic other conditions.

Observation:

  • Two Caucasian adult cases of aural TB are presented.
  • The patients exhibited chronic otitis with atypical features.
  • Delayed diagnosis was noted in both cases due to lack of suspicion.

Findings:

  • Aural TB should be considered in refractory chronic otitis.
  • Unusual otological presentations may indicate underlying TB.
  • Prompt diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion and appropriate investigations.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of aural TB can improve diagnostic timelines.
  • Timely diagnosis and treatment of aural TB prevent debilitating complications.
  • Public health strategies should encompass the recognition of extrapulmonary TB manifestations.
