Abstract
Primary-inoculation tuberculosis of the skin resulting from direct inoculation is a rare disease first described by Laennec. Mycobacterium cannot penetrate intact skin and requires a breach in the skin to enter. The disease usually remains localized in those patients with acquired immunity from previous infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient will develop a papule or nodule that will eventually ulcerate 2 or 3 weeks after the exposure. Lesion may resolve spontaneously or progress into a lupus vulgaris like picture. Rarely, it may lead to disseminated tuberculosis.We report a case of primary inoculation tuberculosis of keloid presenting as cold abscess.
Keywords : Lupus Vulgaris, Skin, Tuberculosis, Abscess, Keloid.
