Peru is one of the countries with the highest numbers of cases of XDR-TB, which increase every year. Case Report: We present the case of two siblings who developed XDR-TB, underwent surgery twice, and were in individualized treatment for more than 6 years. Finally they achieved remission of symptoms, despite not having standardized treatment schemes during their diagnosis period. Conclusions: Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis can be cured with a treatment that involves both medical care and patient actions to achieve remission of the disease. © Am J Case Rep.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMedicineinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.12659/AJCR.900001http://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#3.00.00
