Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis involving breast and adnexa uteri: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC infectious diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMultidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) remains a major global public health challenge, whereas extrapulmonary involvement is relatively uncommon. Here, we report a rare case of disseminated MDR-TB presenting with simultaneous involvement of multiple organs. A review of the literature identified a single previously reported case of MDR-TB of the breast and six cases involving the female reproductive system, and none exhibited a pattern of organ involvement or microbiological characteristics comparable to those observed in the present case. CASE PRESENTATION: A 33-year-old woman presented with a five-month history of breast swelling and pain, accompanied by fever for three days. Microbiological testing confirmed disseminated MDR-TB with simultaneous involvement of the lungs, breast, and adnexa uteri. The patient showed marked clinical improvement following individualised, guideline-based anti-tuberculosis therapy.
conclusionThis case highlights the exceptional rarity of MDR-TB with atypical multi-organ involvement and underscores the importance of maintaining high clinical suspicion for tuberculosis in uncommon sites. Early implementation of comprehensive microbiological and drug resistance assessments, followed by appropriate standardised therapy, is essential to prevent diagnostic delay and improve clinical outcomes.
