Tuberculosis is a highly contagious infectious disease. It poses a major public health problem. While pulmonary forms are the most frequent in our countries, extra-pulmonary forms are rare in our daily practice. This may be due to their rarity, on the one hand, and to the difficulties of diagnosis and management, on the other. We report here on our experience with two (2) clinical cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis diagnosed in the Pneumophthisiology Department of the Yalgado Ouédraogo University Hospital in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). The Xpert MTB/ Rif test was a key element in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Management is highly complex, with a long treatment course. Multidrug-resistant extra pulmonary tuberculosis is rare and highly complex. These cases illustrate the problem of resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs and raise the role of genotypic testing in the diagnosis of extra pulmonary tuberculosis.
