True cutaneous …

As we move into the 21st century, cutaneous tuberculosis has re-emerged in areas with a high incidence of HIV infection and multi-drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis. The existence of inexhaustible fistulas and the absence of scarring of a wound should make one suspect, among other things, cutaneous tuberculosis. In both other cases, there would not be necrosis cases and thus no oozing fistulation. Cutaneous tuberculosis forms a small subset of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Any author submitting a COVID-19 paper should notify us at (a) Hip fistula and left thigh; whitish pus with creamy debris. On examination, a weight loss of 5% was noted, as was a cutaneous fistula of the base of the right hemithorax with irregular and purplish margins, leaving whitish pus with creamy debris (Figure A 57-year-old patient admitted to visceral surgery for a lack of healing of a wound of the hypogastric wall that has been evolving for 8 months, in the aftermath of drainage of an abscess of the pelvic wall. No notion of tuberculous contagion was found. 2019 May-Jun;37(3):192-199. doi: 10.1016/j.clindermatol.2019.01.008. Patients with pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB disease need to be treated with antitubercular drugs. But the characteristic of the creamy pus with tissue remains running out through these dents can already direct the clinician towards a tuberculosis.The bacteriological examination only of the pus can mislead the diagnosis when it highlights germs of superinfection and not the bacillus of Koch itself. Therapy is based on the combination of four antituberculosis drugs associating rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide during 6 to 8 months.Two of the three patients had a surgical drainage of the cold abscess. For the chest wall, bone lesions are frequent [At first glance, fistulas may suggest either a yeast infection, a gummy syphilis, or a tumor process. Am J Clin Dermatol 3(5): 319-328. The product of fistulectomy makes it possible to establish the histological diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis.Tuberculosis is a ubiquitous affliction with multiple facets. The bacillus of Koch appears as small red sticks with the Ziehl Neelsen coloring. Int J Dermatol 41(3): 159-165. 1999 Feb;38(2):122-7. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-4362.1999.00576.x.2020 Aug 13.

In our work, the direct examination with culture on medium of Lohenstein for the identification of the bacillus of Koch appeared negative in the three cases.The histological study of the biopsies is the examination of choice because it makes it possible in its sinus form to find the elementary lesions of the follicle of Koester on the paraffin cuts colored with the hematein. doi: 10.2165/00128071-200203050-00004. …
