| الوصف: | The development of severe adverse reactions to antituberculous drugs in a patient with miliary tuberculosis led to unorthodox, suboptimal antituberculous therapy. The patient’s failure to re spond to therapy was discovered when acid-fast bacilli were detected in new skin lesions. Such lesions have been described in the literature as tuberculosis cutis miliaris disseminata; 24 cases (in addition to that described herein) have been reported thus far. The patient eventually recov ered completely after detection and drainage of a large retrofascial tuberculous abscess. This case illustrates the importance of careful examination of the skin in clinical medicine, as tubercu losis cutis miliaris disseminata is an easily overlooked sign of miliary tuberculosis. We recently treated a patient in whom severe adverse reac tions to antituberculous drugs led to unorthodox, suboptimal antituberculous therapy. The failure of therapy was discov ered when acid-fast bacilli were detected in new skin lesions. Such lesions, which are a rare manifestation of miliary tuber culosis [1], have been described in the literature as tuberculo sis cutis miliaris disseminata. This form of disease is usually associated with a poor prognosis and was seen more often before antituberculous drugs became available [1]. |
