Tubercular Abscess on Right Arm in an Immunocompetent Infant – a Rare Case

Soft tissue infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis have become common. This makes the clinicians to think of tuberculosis as a part of differential diagnosis in cases of abscess especially in an endemic area. We hereby report a case of right arm tubercular abscess in an infant caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which was confirmed by Ziehl-Neelsen stain, histopathology and also CBNAAT and the patient responded well with Anti tubercular treatment.
