Cutaneous inoculation tuberculosis is rare in the United States today. When seen, it usually occurs in individuals whose occupations or environments place them at increased risk for exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The reaction of the skin to M tuberculosis infection is polymorphous and depends upon the interplay of bacterial virulence and host immunity. Thus, both a high index of suspicion and positive cultures are required to make the diagnosis. Herein, we report a case of cutaneous inoculation tuberculosis occurring in a tattoo.
皮肤接种性结核如今在美国较为罕见。一旦出现，通常发生在因职业或环境因素使其接触结核分枝杆菌风险增加的个体中。皮肤对结核分枝杆菌感染的反应具有多形性，取决于细菌毒力与宿主免疫力的相互作用。因此，做出诊断既需要高度的怀疑指数，也需要阳性培养结果。在此，我们报告一例发生在纹身部位的皮肤接种性结核病例。
