Introduction: tuberculosis is an increasing problem of global health and the microbialdrug resistance a generating element of worry.Clinical case: 19 year-old patient, who admitted to the emergency room for presentinghemoptysis and who had history of pulmonary tuberculosis with irregular treatment.Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was documented and different strategies of availablemedical treatment were considered. Due to the increased epidemiological risk and thehistory of poor adherence to the treatment, an in-hospital treatment was carried outwith a satisfactory response.Conclusion: multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a social risk, keeping the route oftransmission of the disease.

Antecedente de TB con tratamiento irregular. Se documentó resistenciaa varios medicamentos. Se consideraron las diferentes estrategias de tratamientodisponible.
