Abstract

Cutaneous infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis with an atypical clinical appearance have become more common. WE report a case of young female child who presented with history of swelling and non- healing ulcer over the left index finger for the past six months. The case was confirmed as Mycobacterium tuberculosis by histopathological examination, culture, and also by CBNAAT. The patient was successfully treated with anti-tubercular treatment.
