Abstract

Diagnosing extrapulmonary and drug-resistant tuberculosis in children is challenging. Early recognition and treatment improve outcomes and reduce transmission. In this 9-year-old boy, diagnosis of drug-resistant subphrenic TB required a high index of suspicion, appropriate diagnostic testing, and timely initiation of second-line anti-tuberculosis therapy.
