Physical examination showed a solitary, slightly erythematous, scaly, verrucous plaque on the left knee measuring about 1.5 cm x 2 cm. Biopsy revealed granulomatous dermatitis consistent with cutaneous tuberculosis. A diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TBVC) was made and anti-tuberculous therapy was initiated\u00a0consisting of rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 2 months followed by rifampicin and isoniazid for 4 months. Upon completion of therapy, only a slightly atrophic scar remained, supporting our diagnosis. This report highlights TBVC must be considered in patients with chronic skin lesions in countries with high prevalence of tuberculosis.<strong><br \/>\nKeywords: <\/strong>tuberculosis verrucosa cutis, cutaneous tuberculosis, anti-tuberculosis therapy<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.56964\/pidspj20181902008\"><strong>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.56964\/pidspj20181902008<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pidsphil.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Vol-19-No-2_CRISOSTOMO_TBV-Revised4.pdf\" target=\"_\" rel=\"noopener\">View Full Article in PDF format<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journal 2018 Vol.19 No.2 Tuberculosis Verrucosa Cutis in an 11-year-old girl A Case Report Maria Vinna N.
