“…The color Doppler is not specific for detecting the site of the lesion 8 . Non invasive procedures are sensitive but not specific in detecting intraparotid TB 8 . On the contrary, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis.…”

“…Parotid gland can be involved concurrently with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) or can be the primary site without PTB like this case. It most commonly presents as a localized mass, resulting from infection of intra-capsular or peri-capsular lymph nodes 8 . It may also present as an acute sialadenitis with diffuse gland enlargement or even as a periauricular fistula or an abscess 1 .…”

“…If we can diagnose tuberculosis clinically or with minimal invasive investigations, potential complications of parotidectomy like facial nerve damage can be avoided. High resolution USG is able to differentiate whether the lesion is within the gland or in the periparotid area and whether it is malignant or benign neoplasm 8 . The color Doppler is not specific for detecting the site of the lesion 8 .…”

This case is being reported because tubercular involvement of the parotid gland in the pediatric population is extremely rare even in the TB endemic country like Bangladesh. Here, a case of an 11 year old girl with tuberculous abscess of the right parotid gland is reported who presented with right sided earache, headache and fever for two months followed by development of a swelling in front of the right ear for one and half months. There was no history of running nose, drooling of saliva, pain on deglutition, prolonged cough or hemoptysis, loss of appetite or weight loss. Patient came from an area where many known TB patients reside. General and systemic examination revealed no abnormality except the swelling. Her BCG mark was present and BMI was age appropriate. Tuberculin test (MT) was positive and chest x-ray revealed no abnormality. The diagnosis of tuberculous parotid abscess was initially made by histopathology of the swelling. Treatment was commenced with a six months anti-TB regimen according to the national TB guideline. Finally, TB was confirmed upon the clinical response to anti-TB therapy. Therefore, it is recommended to consider TB in the differential diagnosis of parotiditis and chronic swelling of this salivary gland especially in TB endemic countries.

“…In India, the incidence of EPTB ranges from 20% to 30%. [1] Cutaneous tuberculosis (CT), a variant of EPTB, accounts only 1.5% of all cases. The incidence of concomitant infection (leprosy and CT) is 3.2% in Indian population.…”

Concomitant infection with Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient: A rare association Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, a microorganism that usually affects skin and nerves. Although it is well-controlled by multidrug therapy but the disease may be aggravated by acute inflammatory reaction that causes permanent tissue damage, particularly to peripheral nerves. Cutaneous tuberculosis (CT) is a variant of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Both mycobacterial infections are endemic in developing countries like India, but the simultaneous occurrence of CT and leprosy is very rarely reported. Here, we are reporting a case of borderline lepromatous leprosy and CT (lupus vulgaris) co-infection in an immunocompetent patient, diagnosed simultaneously and managed accordingly.
