Abstract

A serious infectious disease known as tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), which typically affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also affect other places (extra pulmonary TB). If pulmonary tuberculosis is not appropriately treated, complications may result. One well-known consequence of TB is spontaneous pneumothorax. About 1.5% of people with pulmonary and pleural TB experience pneumothorax as a complication. SSP that does not receive prompt intervention may progress to tension pneumothorax. We hereby present a case of a 17-year-old female with history of uncompleted TB treatment with pulmonary complications presenting as persistent pneumothorax.
