The experience with cutaneous tuberculosis at Ga-Rankuwa Hospital is reviewed. A total of 92 cases of skin tuberculosis was seen over the past 12 years. All recognized forms of cutaneous tuberculosis were encountered, plus some forms which were difficult to classify. Lupus vulgaris was the most common true infection and papulonecrotic tuberculid the most common tuberculid. The classification and pathogenetic mechanisms are briefly discussed.read more

Two cases of leukocytoclastic vasculitis with tuberculosis
A.-Y. Lee,J.-H. Jang,K.-H. Lee +2 more
TL;DR: Two cases of the condition associated with tuberculosis are described and Infections are proposed to be a causative factor and leukocytoclastic vasculitis due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been reported previously but is uncommon.

Papulonecrotic Tuberculid in a 2‐Year‐Old Girl: With Emphasis on Extent of Disease and Presence of Leucocytoclastic Vasculitis
TL;DR: The clinical spectrum of this eminently treatable disease in children must be expanded in terms of distribution and number of lesions to include extensive limb and trunk, perineal, and vulval involvement, and adult and childhood PNT share common histopathologic features, including a common cellular immunohistochemical profile, thereby suggesting a common pathogenesis.

Tuberculous lymphadenitis presenting with cutaneous leucocytoclastic vasculitis.
TL;DR: A patient with cervical lymphadenitis due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection who developed cutaneous vasculitis is described, which resolved with standard antituberculous therapy.

Multiple metastatic tuberculosis abscesses in a patient with Pott disease and lung tuberculosis: a case report.
TL;DR: An increased awareness of the re‐emergence of cutaneous tuberculosis will allow for the proper diagnosis and management of this increasing common skin disorder.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura associated with pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex.
TL;DR: A 57-year-old woman presented with bloody sputum and high grade fever and suddenly complained of palpable pururitic lesions on the bilateral lower extremities with bilateral gonalgia, and it is necessary to consider MAC infection as a potential cause of Henoch-Schönlein purpura.

Cutaneous mycobacteriosis: analysis of 34 cases with a new classification of the disease.
TL;DR: A system of classification is proposed which uses simple terms, avoids confusing nomenclature, and incorporates pathophysiologic descriptions and prognostic information to help clinicians understand and diagnose the diverse forms of cutaneous mycobacterial infections.

The papulonecrotic tuberculide. From Arthus reaction to lupus vulgaris.
J.G.L. Morrison,E. D. Fourie +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that these tuberculides begin as an Arthus reaction which is followed by a delayed hypersensitivity response, which will prevent local proliferation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in most cases, but in rare cases local multiplication of the organisms may lead to the development of lupus vulgaris.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erythema induratum (Bazin's disease)
TL;DR: Although it was not possible to fulfill the required criteria for diagnosing tuberculosis in these lesions, it is believed there is sufficient circumstantial evidence to support the hypothesis that erythema induratum is a true tuberculid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mycobacteria and the Skin
TL;DR: The genus Mycobacterium, by causing tuberculosis and leprosy, probably causes more suffering for humans than all other bacterial genera combined, and its members are found in soil, marshes, ponds, rivers, swimming pools, and estuaries; Sphagnum bogs are particularly rich in mycobacteria.
