Lichen scrofulosorum associated with active pulmonary tuberculosis in an adult
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Lichen scrofulosorum is an increasingly diagnosed tuberculid, usually seen in children or young adults with strong immune sensitivity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and an active focus of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body. The eruption is characterized by asymptomatic, closely grouped, tiny follicular papules, mainly confined to the trunk, which involute with conventional anti-tubercular therapy. Correct diagnosis of lichen scrofulosorum is frequently delayed because of its clinical similarity to other skin conditions and asymptomatic nature. We report a case of lichen scrofulosorum in an adult female associated with active pulmonary tuberculosis.
