  • Title: Lupus vulgaris confirmed by polymerase-chain reaction.
    Author: Steidl M, Neubert U, Volkenandt M, Chatelain R, Degitz K.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1993 Sep; 129(3):314-8. PubMed ID: 8286231.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of lupus vulgaris with typical clinical and histological findings. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was not only identified by a conventional culture technique, but also by a recently established system which has been designed to detect mycobacterial DNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue by polymerase-chain reaction (PCR). Because results can be obtained within days, the PCR-based technique may markedly facilitate the diagnosis of skin tuberculosis.
