Abstract

Cutaneous tuberculosis (cTB) represents 1-2% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis [1] and is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum, M. microti, M. canetti, M. caprae, and M. pinnipedii). [2] The diagnosis of cTB is established by clinical signs, the presence of active TB in other organs, as well as the positivity of the purified protein derivative of tuberculin (PPD), the capacity to respond to antifungal drugs, the finding of tuberculous granuloma in the histopathological examination, the finding of some microorganism of the M. tuberculosis complex in a culture and/or the positive result in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
