RESUMEN

CASE: We report a case in the United States of a 12-year-old girl with multidrug-resistant tuberculous (MDR-TB) osteomyelitis of the hand managed with surgical debridement and second-line anti-TB therapy. The disease course was complicated by dissemination and multifocal progression. CONCLUSION: Despite early intervention, multidrug resistance makes TB treatment challenging and facilitated progression to disseminated disease in this case. We review the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of pediatric MDR-TB.
