  • Title: [Erythema induratum of Bazin as a reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection in a patient receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor treatment].
    Author: Hasbún C, Moya N, Morales C.
    Journal: Rev Chilena Infectol; 2022 Feb; 39(1):100-102. PubMed ID: 35735288.
    Abstract:
    Erythema induratum of Bazin is a rare form of cutaneous tuberculosis, considered as part of the spectrum of tuberculids or hipersensitivity reactions to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Treatment with biologic agents is a known risk factor for tuberculosis reactivation, especially in areas of high incidence like Latin America, which is why screening and treatment protocols must be followed before these therapies are initiated. We present a case of erythema induratum of Bazin as a reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis treated with golimumab.
