Tuberculosis stands as one of humanity's oldest afflictions, intrinsically intertwined with social disparities. This formidable disease spares no age group and remains the prevailing cause of infection-induced mortality worldwide, particularly in developing nations. We present a case of a 56-year-old woman with diabetes who was diagnosed with Pulmonary Tuberculosis. After receiving antituberculosis drugs as part of her treatment, she experienced a range of systemic manifestations and suffered from severe ulcerative esophagitis. This adverse reaction led to uncontrollable gastrointestinal intolerance, tragically resulting in her untimely demise. The incident underscores the potential seriousness of adverse reactions that can arise from tuberculosis treatment medications.
结核病是人类最古老的疾病之一，与社会不平等现象有着内在的联系。这种可怕的疾病没有年龄限制，仍然是全球感染性死亡的主要原因，尤其是在发展中国家。我们呈现了一例 56 岁糖尿病女性患者，她被诊断患有肺结核。在接受抗结核药物治疗后，她出现了一系列全身症状，并患有严重的溃疡性食管炎。这种不良反应导致无法控制的胃肠道不耐受，不幸导致她过早死亡。这一事件突显了结核病治疗药物可能引起的不良反应的潜在严重性。
