Tuberculous infections of the breast are considered rare in the developed world. We describe a case of mammary tuberculosis in a woman who was not initially known to be seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and who was thought to have a pyogenic breast abscess. This uncommon presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis as an AIDS-defining condition highlights the necessity for performing mycobacterial smears and cultures in such cases when patients are at risk for HIV infection.
在发达国家，乳腺结核感染被认为较为罕见。我们描述了一例乳腺结核病例，该女性最初并不知晓其人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）血清学呈阳性，最初被认为患有化脓性乳房脓肿。这种作为艾滋病界定条件的肺外结核的不寻常表现凸显了在患者有HIV感染风险的此类病例中进行分枝杆菌涂片和培养的必要性。
