Abstract

Drug-resistant tuberculosis, especially in children, is a major public health challenge. We report a case with rifampicin resistance diagnosed in an HIV co-infected in Bamako. The history of the disease suggests possible father-to-child transmission. After confirmation, MDR-TB treatment was initiated. Global improvement and normalization of biological parameters and X-Ray was obtained. The identification of this case highlights the need to improve diagnosticand treatment algorithms for rapid confirmation and better management.
