متن کاملLewandowsky’s Rosaceiform Eruption: a Form of Cutaneous Tuberculosis Confirmed by PCR in Two Patients
INTRODUCTION Cutaneous tuberculosis (TBC) is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and is present in less than 1-2% of all TBC cases. The current problem with diagnosis is the demonstration of bacillus in the skin, especially paucibacillar forms, where sources like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have improved diagnostic capacity. CASE PRESENTATION Two cases of cutaneous TBC...
متن کاملIdentification of Leishmania Species Causing Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) in Kharve, Iran
