Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) occurs when at the minimum there is resistance to isoniazid and rifampin. Prevention of new infections of and progression to TB disease is critical to reduce the burden and mortality of this disease. We present the case of a 73-year-old human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative female who presented with cervical lymphadenopathy and who was diagnosed with MDR-TB.
Tuberculosis is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide and approximately a quarter of the world's population is estimated to be latently infected by Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis lymphadenitis is a rare manifestation of the disease in Portugal.With the advent of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, disease surveillance by the government should be intensified, with the aim of national and global TB control, focusing on prevention.
结核病（TB）是全球十大死因之一。当至少对异烟肼和利福平耐药时，就会出现耐多药结核病（MDR-TB）。预防新感染以及预防发展为结核病对于减轻该疾病的负担和死亡率至关重要。我们报告一例73岁的人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）阴性女性病例，该患者出现颈部淋巴结病，被诊断为耐多药结核病。
结核病是全球发病和死亡的最重要原因之一，据估计全球约四分之一的人口潜伏感染耐多药结核病。淋巴结炎在葡萄牙是该疾病的一种罕见表现。随着耐多药结核病的出现，政府应加强疾病监测，以实现国家和全球结核病控制为目标，重点在于预防。
