Relapse of indurative tuberculosis of the skin of the lower extremities against the background of undiagnosed spontaneously cured pulmonary tuberculosis

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the prevalence of cutaneous tuberculosis in Ukraine. Tuberculous lesions of the skin, as a rule, are secondary. In order to facilitate an early diagnosis of tuberculosis of the skin, it is necessary to perform a mandatory X-ray examination of the organs of the chest cavity and a histological examination of the affected area of the skin at the initial visit.
