“…Histologically a granulomatous phlebitis is characteristic with epithelioid granulomas and Langerhans giant cells observed within the walls of cutaneous veins. Using PCR, Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA was detected in most cases 2,3 . We present a further case with these features adding support for inclusion of nodular granulomatous phlebitis into current classifications of tuberculids.…”

“…All patients responded to anti‐tuberculous therapy. A report of superficial thrombophlebitic tuberculid supports the concept of a phlebitic tuberculid 3 . A 35‐year‐old man presented with cord‐like thickenings of the superficial veins on the anteromedial lower legs.…”

“…The role of PCR in the diagnosis of tuberculids is not well defined. M. tuberculosis DNA has been detected in erythema induratum of Bazin, papulonecrotic tuberculid and nodular granulomatous phlebitis 3 . A positive PCR does not differentiate true cutaneous tuberculosis and tuberculids, and a negative result does not exclude the diagnosis in either case.…”

A 22-year-old woman presented with recurrent non-ulcerating skin nodules overlying the great saphenous vein on the anteromedial lower legs. Histology showed a granulomatous phlebitis, and polymerase chain reaction performed on lesional skin detected DNA specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The lesions resolved with anti-tuberculous therapy. This case may be a further example of nodular granulomatous phlebitis, a phlebitic tuberculid.

“…Erythema induratum (EI), also known as Bazin disease or nodular vasculitis, is a chronic nodular skin disease that is thought consequences of immunologic reactions to dispersed antigenic components of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 1 The disease preferentially affects the posterior and anterolateral aspects of the lower legs of young and middle-aged women. 1,2 It can also occur in other locations as well as in men and children.…”

Erythema induratum of Bazin (EIB) is a chronic nodular eruption that frequently occurs on lower legs of young or middle-aged women. The clinical manifestations of EIB revealed various dermatological disorders that can be easily leads to misdiagnosis. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman who initially presented with EIB. The histopathological specimen was collected from her medial aspect of let leg. The epidermis is unremarkable. The dermis shows fibro fatty tissue, skin adnexae and foci of granuloma with Langhans type of giant cells and some lymphocytic infiltration in the deep dermis which was suggestive of erythema induratum. Her lesions responded to antitubercular therapy (ATT). This case study may help extend the therapeutic regimens for cutaneous tuberculosis. CBMJ 2023 January: Vol. 12 No. 01 P: 121-123

Infections of the skin caused by mycobacteria have a wide geographical distribution. The clinical manifestations are varied and not necessarily species‐specific. Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the skin is often a chronic infection but may present as immunological phenomena – tuberculids. An increasing number of species are recognized as causing non‐tuberculous mycobacterial infections. Immunosuppression appears to increase the risk of some mycobacterial infections and the role of HIV and iatrogenic immune modulation are notable risk factors. Molecular diagnostics have increased the ability to identify specific organisms but prolonged antimicrobial therapy is often required.
