Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Cutaneous tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, especially in its human and bovine varieties, either directly or through its antigenic components, and the clinical pictures it gives rise to depend not only on its pathogenicity, but also on the the host's immune response. It is generally accepted that the skin integument is an organ that is not very receptive to Koch's bacillus and that even the latter suffers, when invading it, its virulence is attenuated: the manifestations are less frequent than those observed in other sites, more chronic and with fewer bacilli since the skin is not an ideal environment for this, however, it is not free from presenting affectations that could put the integrity of patients at risk.
