| Sumario: | Cutaneous tuberculosis is not a well-defined entity but comprises a wide spectrum of
clinical manifestations. Skin involvement may occur as a result of exogenous inoculation, by contagious spread from a focus underlying the skin, particularly from lymphadenitis, and by hematogenous or lymphatic spread from a distant focus. Currently the diagnosis includes suggestive clinical presentation, histopathology, detection or identification of species in cultures and the reaction caused by the antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the host. The first line of treatment consists in: rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. In this article we present three cases of cutaneous tuberculosis and a review of the literature. |
