Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a human disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria is a rod-shaped and acid-resistant, hence it is also known as acid fast Bacilli. The disease mainly affects the lungs, making pulmonary disease the most common presentation of Tuberculosis. Despite advances in tuberculosis control and a decline in new cases and deaths, the disease remains a huge burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Diagnosis is at the forefront of TB management. Accurate diagnosis will be followed by appropriate management, thereby reducing mortality and morbidity from TB. Case Report: A 41-year-old male patient came to Puskesmas Kedurus after hospitalization at RSUD Dr. Soetomo after being diagnosed with TB-RO. Previously, the patient had a cough and weight loss for about 1 year, cough with greenish-yellow sputum, not containing blood. The patient began complaining about shortness of breath since 1 month ago, with the results of thorax photos and Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) supporting the diagnosis of Drug-resistant Tuberculosis. The patient received anti-tuberculosis drugs according to standard therapy for Multi-Drug Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients with a minimum treatment duration of 20 months. Conclusion: The risk factor for Tuberculosis in this patient was the surrounding community where the patient works daily with many coworkers who suffer from prolonged cough. The patient's prognosis is good if complaints are resolved immediately and anti-tuberculosis drugs was taken regularly. The patient still needs further education, especially regarding the cough etiquette and implementing healthy lifestyle in the household setting.
