Background: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is the most exigent and calamitous challenge encountered in treatment of TB. Extra pulmonary (EP) DR-TB poses a complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenge owing to myriad of presentations and paucibacillary nature. Data available on this subset is limited. We studied the prevalence of EPDR-TB cases among the total DR-TB cases visiting our Programmatic management of Drug-Resistant TB (PMDT) site. We also studied the demographic and microbiological profile of these cases and analyzed the prevalence of pre-extensively drug-resistant TB (pre XDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) among patients of EPDR-TB in pre Bdq era. Results: Of the 1086 DR-TB patients, 64 (5.89%) were cases of EPDR-TB. Seven out of 64 (10.93%) were primary EPDR-TB. The site wise distribution of cases was 34 (53.125%) lymph node DR-TB, 18 (28.125%) pleural DR-TB, 9 (14.0625%) spinal DR-TB/paraspinal abscess/psoas abscess, 1 case (1.5625%) each of abdominal DR-TB, sternal and gluteal abscess. On the basis of the second-line drug susceptibility testing (DST), patients were grouped into: (1) multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), (2) MDR-TB with fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance {pre XDR XDR-TB (FQ)}, (3) MDR-TB with second-line injectable (SLI) resistance {pre XDR XDR-TB (SLI)}, (4) XDR-TB. Of the 64 patients, 43 (67.185%) had MDR-TB, 19 (29.687%) had preXDR-TB (FQ), none had preXDR-TB (SLI) and 2 (3.125%) had XDR-TB. Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) was the most common comorbidity seen in 26 (40.6%) patients, followed by anemia in 5 (7.8%), psychiatry problems 5 (7.8%), hypertension in 3 (4.6%), renal disorders in 2 (3.1%) while thyroid disorder, HIV and thalassemia in 1 each (1.5%). Conclusion: EPDR-TB forms a small but significant proportion of total DR-TB. Lymph node DR-TB is its most common subclass. Our study emphasises the momentousness and essentiality of baseline DST to FQ and SLI in patients of DR-TB. This enables an appropriate modification of therapy at baseline itself to better the treatment outcomes. We observed a strikingly high proportion of preXDR-TB (FQ) in our study group.
