“…After being phagocytosed, the bacilli remain within the phagosome. Later, the antigens can be processed and presented to CD4 + lymphocytes through class II major histocompatibility complex, and subsequently stimulate the CD8+ T cells [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…Another name for the earliest manifestation of a subcutaneous, painless nodule is a “cold abscess”. These lesions usually show up in conspicuous lymph node locations, such as the groin, chest wall, neck, and axillae [ 16 ]. In this presenting case we could not identify any abnormality that represented scrofuloderma.…”

Children may become exposed to TB-contaminated materials if they are exposed to or live with a person suffering from pulmonary TB.…”

“…Las pruebas de amplificación de ácidos nucleicos para detectar ADN del microorganismo corroboran el diagnóstico 7. En pacientes en quienes se tenga una fuerte sospecha clínica de TBC, pero no sea posible confirmar el diagnóstico mediante histopatología o exámenes de laboratorio, se puede realizar una prueba terapéutica administrando el tratamiento antifímico convencional, con el que se espera observar una respuesta favorable al mismo 8. Con respecto a las tuberculídes, es importante mencionar que por lo general es difícil detectar la presencia de M. tuberculosis con tinción de Ziehl-Neelsen o cultivo de Löwenstein-Jensen en el tejido afectado, pero sí puede observarse en sitios extracutáneos infectados por la micobacteria.…”

“…En la histopatología se observa inflamación granulomatosa. Las lesiones se resuelven con el tratamiento antifímico 8. Aunque el bacilo no se observa en el estudio histopatológico de las lesiones, sí se ha detectado ADN de M. tuberculosis en pacientes con tuberculídes papulonecróticas y con eritema indurado de Bazin, lo cual apoya el papel de la micobacteria en la patogénesis de las tuberculídes.…”
