Lupus vulgaris is the most common type of cutaneous tuberculosis, known for its diverse clinical presentations, particularly in association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We report a case of disseminated lupus vulgaris with plaques and ulcerative morphology. Despite negative smear and culture results, histopathological examination revealed granulomatous reactions. Further evaluation, including lymph node biopsy and cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT), confirmed multifocal tuberculosis.
寻常狼疮是最常见的皮肤结核类型,以其多样的临床表现而闻名,尤其是与人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染相关时。我们报告一例具有斑块和溃疡性形态的播散性寻常狼疮病例。尽管涂片和培养结果均为阴性,但组织病理学检查显示有肉芽肿反应。进一步评估,包括淋巴结活检和基于 cartridge 的核酸扩增试验(CBNAAT),证实为多灶性结核病。
