LETM is rarely caused by tuberculosis infection. LETM is a contiguous immune-mediated inammatory lesion of the spinal cord that extends to three or more segments of spinal cord. Here we presenting a case of 55 years old female patient with known HIV infection and no history of tuberculosis infection admitted in the hospital with complains of sudden onset of asymmetrical weakness of lower limbs and urinary incontinence from four days. on evaluation she was underwent some series of investigations, in that nally diagnosed with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis due to tuberculosis infection. Then patient was treated with ART and ATT with steroids and supportive treatment along with physiotherapy. after some days patient condition was gradually improving with treatment and discharged, advised physiotherapy daily and followup on OPD basis. So based on this case report, we recommend that clinicians should suspect mycobacterium tuberculosis infection when patient diagnosed with transverse myelitis

ABSTRACT The activity of moxifloxacin was enhanced by the addition of ethionamide but not by that of cycloserine, thiacetazone, capreomycin, para-aminosalicylic acid, or linezolid in BALB/c mice infected with a strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to isoniazid, rifampin, and six other drugs. These observations are important for the therapy of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
