  • Title: Cutaneous miliary resistant tuberculosis in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus: case report and literature review.
    Author: Regnier S, Ouagari Z, Perez ZL, Veziris N, Bricaire F, Caumes E.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 2009 Dec; 34(8):e690-2. PubMed ID: 19663861.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus who presented with fever and a disseminated papulous eruption, diagnosed as cutaneous miliary tuberculosis. The diagnosis was made by histological examination of a skin biopsy, which showed numerous acid-fast bacilli. A culture grown from a skin biopsy isolated a resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain. The papules disappeared within a few days after starting treatment with pyrazinamide, isoniazid and moxifloxacin.
