Resumen
Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 28 años quien consulta por la presencia de úlcera axilar, con síntomas asociados de fiebre y pérdida de peso. El examen clínico evidenció dos lesiones en piel en las que se comprobó tuberculosis cutánea (lupus vulgar- scrofuloderma). Además, los hallazgos en piel condujeron al diagnóstico de tuberculosis pulmonar y adenitis tuberculosa. En este caso se cumplieron todos los criterios diagnósticos de tuberculosis cutánea: presencia de tuberculosis activa en otro sitio, presencia de bacilos ácido alcohol resistentes en la lesión, reacción positiva a la tuberculina, signos físicos y respuesta adecuada al tratamiento.
We present the case of a rnale, 28 year old who consulted for fever, loss of weight and axillary ulcer. Clinically had two ski n lesions where cutaneous tuberculosis was proven (lupus vulgaris-scrofuloderma). The ski n lesions led to the diagnosis of lung tuberculosis and tuberculous adenitis. In this case all the diagnostic criteria for cutaneous tuberculosis were completed: presence of active tuberculosis in another place, presence of acid alcohol resistant bacilluses in the lesion, positive reaction to tuberculin test, physical signs and appropiate answer to the treatment.
