  ABSTRACT: Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a major challenge for the World Health Organisation (WHO). The emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis is becoming increasingly apparent in Lomami hospitals. However, until now the forms reported have been pulmonary. We report here a case of multidrug-resistant extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), the lymph node form. The case was diagnosed at the Kabinda General Referral Hospital (GRH). This case is reported to draw the attention of clinicians to the diagnosis of resistance in extrapulmonary forms and to demonstrate the importance of monitoring patient histories for the early diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis.
