CUTANEOUS TUBERCULOSIS: CASES FROM THE PRACTICE

The publication draws attention to the relevance of dermatological manifestations of tuberculosis. Clinical manifestations mostly are not clear, detection of mycobacteria is a difficult process, and absence of typical histological signs of disease leads to a late diagnosis. Scrofuloderma, lichen scrofulosorum and indurative erythema of Bazin are ones of them. Some cases of cutaneous tuberculosis, principles of diagnosis and the main diagnostic mistakes are discussed.
