| Popis: | Tuberculosis of the tongue is one of the rare localizations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The article presents a clinical case of secondary tuberculous glossitis with concurrent multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in a 35-year-old HIV-infected patient. Despite relatively rapid verification of the diagnosis, the clinical situation was difficult due to differential diagnosis with nonspecific lesions, unknown HIV status, and detection of drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This case illustrates the step-by-step diagnosis and treatment of tuberculous ulcers of the tongue and lungs. The comprehensive examination with the use of molecular genetic, bacteriological, histological, and X-ray diagnostic tools contributed to the timely prescription of the adequate anti-tuberculosis therapy regimen. |
