The developing countries are having a number of public health issues. The situation in these resource-limited countries is scary due to the huge burden of infectious diseases like tuberculosis (TB). The latest reports from the WHO shows a high number of drug resistant cases even in the pediatric age groups. Also, the lack of suspicion of drug resistant TB (DR-TB) in the pediatric cases, especially in the absence of a past or family history may lead to delay in diagnosis and flaring-up of the disease. We herein present the very first case of the primary multidrug-resistant TB in an HIV negative child who presented with the left sided pleural effusion.
发展中国家面临着诸多公共卫生问题。由于结核病等传染病的巨大负担，这些资源有限国家的情况令人担忧。世界卫生组织的最新报告显示，即使在儿童年龄组中，耐药病例数量也很高。此外，在儿科病例中，尤其是在没有既往或家族病史的情况下，对耐药结核病（DR-TB）缺乏怀疑可能导致诊断延迟和疾病爆发。我们在此报告首例原发性耐多药结核病病例，该病例为一名HIV阴性儿童，表现为左侧胸腔积液。
