RESUMO
Tubercular tenosynovitis is now rare, which can delay diagnosis of this disease. We report a case of tenosynovitis of the wrist in a heart transplant patient caused by an isoniazid- and streptomycin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain. Despite immunosuppression therapy, which can lead to a smoldering evolution, molecular biology analysis of biopsies allowed a rapid diagnosis.
