An Unusual Presentation of Pediatric Tuberculosis

Melis Deniz, İsa An, Kenan Değirmenci, Feyza Kabar, Şahika Şahinkaya

Dear Editor,

We were interested in reading Kamer et al.’s original research paper on pediatric tuberculosis in Issue 1 of the Journal of Child. The authors mentioned that tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious illness able to potentially affect multiple organs within the body. Below, we present a case of cutaneous TB in a pediatric patient.

Keywords: Cutaneous tuberculosis, infection, pediatric
