Buruli Ulcer Disease like Lupus Vulgaris
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Lupus vulgaris is the commonest variant of cutaneous tuberculosis seen in adults. It has unusual sites of presentation, varied morphological types and variable course. This occasionally leads to delay in diagnosis and increases the morbidity. A 27 year old woman presented to us with rapidly spreading recurrent, large ulcerative lesions on buttocks. Patient was misdiagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosum and was started on steroids. There was no significant improvement. Smear examination and culture for tuberculosis were negative. Histopathological examination and therapeutic trial confirmed the diagnosis.
