    Author: Mert A, Bilir M, Ozturk R, Tabak F, Ozaras R, Tahan V, Senturk H, Aktuglu Y.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2000; 32(1):37-40. PubMed ID: 10716075.
    Abstract:
    Although rare, paradoxical subcutaneous abscesses may develop during appropriate treatment of miliary tuberculosis. While the pathogenesis of this phenomenon is not clear, some theories have been postulated. A case of a 37-y-old woman diagnosed as having miliary tuberculosis who developed subcutaneous abscesses within the 5 months of antituberculous treatment is described and all 6 similar cases published in English from 1954 to 1999 are discussed.
