چکیده
India has the highest burden of tuberculosis (TB) in the world and cutaneous TB accounts for about 1.5% of extrapulmonary disease [1,2]. It is seen in greater frequency with HIV infection, which is also rampant there [1,3]. Skin lesions could be either “true” cutaneous TB (lupus vulgaris, TB verrucosa cutis, scrofuloderma, orificial TB, military TB) or tuberculids [4]. The latter are believed to represent an Arthus-type hypersensitivity reaction to a focus of infection elsewhere and by definition are culture negative [4]. Tuberculids include lichen scrofulosorum (the commonest), erythema induratum of Background: Papulonecrotic tuberculid (PNT) is said to be a hypersensitivity reaction to M. tuberculosis. Some reports indicate that organisms are demonstrable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
