Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) occurs due to underlying lung pathology, such as cavitary lesions in TB. This case highlights the presentation, diagnosis, and management of SSP in a TB-endemic setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A 14-year-old male, presented with acute dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, and a history of chronic cough and weight loss.

Delayed diagnosis can lead to tension pneumothorax, respiratory failure, and increased mortality. Imaging, particularly chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT), plays a crucial role in diagnosis. Management includes prompt chest tube insertion for lung re-expansion and ATT to address the underlying TB infection. In resource-limited settings, where advanced surgical interventions such as pleurodesis and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) may not be readily available, early medical intervention remains the cornerstone of treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case underscores the importance of early recognition and management of SSP in TB patients, particularly in resource-limited settings.
