摘要

皮肤结核是肺外结核的一种罕见形式，即使在高流行环境中也是如此。我们提出的情况下，病人生活与先进的艾滋病毒谁发展广泛的皮肤结核。多形态皮损是弥散性肺结核最显著的临床表现。贡献:本病例报告强调了一种不寻常的肺结核表现。皮肤结核具有广泛的临床表现，可能被临床医生低估。我们建议早期活检进行微生物学诊断。

Cutaneous tuberculosis: An infrequent manifestation of a common pathogen in South Africa.

Cutaneous tuberculosis is an infrequent form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, even in high-prevalence settings. We present the case of a patient living with advanced HIV who developed extensive cutaneous tuberculosis. The polymorphic skin lesions were the most striking clinical manifestation of underlying disseminated tuberculosis.

Contribution: This case report highlights an unusual presentation of tuberculosis. Cutaneous tuberculosis has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and may be under-recognised by clinicians. We recommend early biopsy for microbiological diagnosis.
