| Sumario: | Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is transmitted from person to person through the airborne route. A case of a nineteen-year-old female patient is presented, who began to suffer from an intermittent cough during the last week of November 2020; in December 2020, she visited a private physician and was treated with Ambroxol, but did not improve. The patient was admitted at the Pneumology Service and a consultation was made with Epidemiology; after the evaluation of the case, it was determined that she met the operational definition of suspected pulmonary tuberculosis, which was confirmed through a smear test for acid-alcohol resistant fast bacilli (aarb), and then a strictly supervised short-course treatment (sst) was started. |
