    Journal: Med Trop (Mars); 2008 Apr; 68(2):173-5. PubMed ID: 18630051.
    Abstract:
    Cutaneous manifestation of tuberculosis is still observed in countries with high endemicity of tuberculosis such as Madagascar. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of nodular type cutaneous tuberculosis located in the subclavian region of a 5-month-old child living in Antananarivo, Madagascar. In absence of bacteriological evidence, diagnosis was based on epidemiological, clinical and histological findings. Treatment was successful using standard antituberculosis therapy. This case illustrates the diagnostic pitfalls associated with this type of tuberculosis.
