dc.description.abstractBackground: Drug resistant tuberculosis has frequently been encountered in India. The prevalence of extrapulmonary multi drug resistant tuberculosis in this country is found to be 3% in new cases and 12-17% in treated cases, which needs to be evaluated. Settings and Design: A retrospective analysis of processed extrapulmonary tubercular samples in Intermediate Reference Laboratory of Department of Microbiology, Goa Medical College, was carried out over a period of one year, from November 2013 to October 2014. Methods: Lowenstein Jensen Media was used for culture processing of 202 samples from clinically suspected cases of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Drug susceptibility testing was done on the isolated strains using the economic variant of proportion method. Results: Out of 202 samples, 30 (14.85%) were observed to be culture positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis of which six (21.43%) were found to be resistant to both Isoniazid and Rifampicin. Conclusion: With the advent of immunocompromised states, one has to be aware of multi drug resistant extra-pulmonary tuberculosis as a double edged sword. The early detection in such cases is a need of the hour to initiate prompt treatment.en_US
