Although Tuberculosis (TB) most commonly affects the lungs, any organ or tissue can be involved. In countries with comprehensive diagnostic and reporting systems, extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) accounts for 20-25% of reported cases. Globally, extrapulmonary cases (without concurrent pulmonary involvement) comprised 14% of notified cases (new and relapse) in 2007. The most common sites of extrapulmonary tuberculosis consist of lymphatic, genitourinary, bone and joint, and central nervous system involvement followed by peritoneal and other abdominal organ involvement. We report a case of a 25 year old male patient who came with multiple discharging sinuses and an urethrocutaneous fistula over the penis treated by a therapeutic trial of Anti-tubercular therapy (ATT).

Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the L1, L2 and L3 serotypes of Chlamydia trachomatis. The disease has been in the spotlight recently because of recent outbreaks in Europe as well as the USA. A unique feature of the recent outbreaks has been that most cases have been caused by the L2 strain. Another unique feature of these outbreaks is the fact that most cases have occurred in men having sex with men, and most patients have presented with proctitis. Interestingly, most recent cases have occurred in human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive patients. Usually, the disease is divided into three phases: the primary stage characterized by a self-healing papule, the secondary stage characterized by proctitis or lymphadenopathy and the tertiary stage characterized by lymphedema and anal strictures. Tests used for diagnosis include polymerase chain reactions and compliment fixation tests. The treatment of choice is doxycycline.
