Dextrocardia With Relapsing Cough in Newly Diagnosed Tuberculosis: A Case Report

Dextrocardia is one of the rarest cardiopulmonary conditions worldwide and has physical health complications such as a risk of repeated upper respiratory tract infections. Our study highlights the incidental diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in a patient not previously known to have dextrocardia and highlights the need for testing for tuberculosis in a case of chronic cough, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Prompt testing also contributes to adequate antimicrobial stewardship and saves lives.
