Tuberculosis is an increasing global health problem, and the antibiotic resistance an element for concern. A 53 year-old patient was admitted at the emergency department for presenting hemoptysis. There were antecedents of pulmonary tuberculosis with irregular treatment. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was documented. Different strategies with available medical treatment were considered with the following drugs: prothionamide, p-aminosalicylic acid, pyrazinamide, terizidone, and moxifloxacin. Due to high epidemiological risk and records of poor response to previous medications, he underwent an in-hospital treatment but the results were not satisfactory. The patient perishes from respiratory insufficiency right after 2 weeks of clinical deterioration. Later, the necropsy examination revealed as the cause of death bilateral pneumonia of tuberculous etiology.
