Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health issue that can lead to severe pulmonary damage and systemic complications. Ventricular extrasystole, a type of arrhythmia, is not commonly associated with TB. A 25-year-old female with a history of pulmonary TB was admitted to the intensive care unit with severe dyspnea, cough, and fever. The patient was diagnosed with ARDS and found to have ventricular extrasystoles on the electrocardiogram (ECG). The patient was managed with a multidisciplinary approach that included mechanical ventilation, initiation of anti-tubercular therapy, and anti-arrhythmic medications. The management strategy focused on stabilizing the patient's respiratory and cardiac status while treating the underlying TB infection. The patient was discharged after 5 days of hospitalization and continued the anti-TB regimen.
