“…The characteristic skin lesions of this disease mostly occurred in the oral cavity, genital and anal mucosa, and is extremely rare clinically. [5,6] It is believed that occurrence of ulcerative skin TB is caused by hematogenous spread of a preexisting TB infection in another organ or tissue. Mycobacteria is released into the blood and lymph circulation.…”

Rationale: Ulcerative skin tuberculosis (TB) is a rare form of extrapulmonary TB. Case report: We present a case of a 65-year-old patient with perianal ulcer, which had been present for 1 year. Anamnesis revealed he had been persistently coughing for the same period of time. Histological examination of perianal skin showed necrotizing granulomatous lesions, acid-fast staining in sputum samples was ++++, TB antibody in the blood was positive, TB DNA test was positive, and chest scan that showed secondary pulmonary TB accompanied by possible pulmonary cavity formation in the 2 upper lungs. Interventions: Anti-TB therapy with isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide for 6 months. The skin ulcer completely healed after 6 months. Conclusion: TB should be suspected for nonhealing ulcers. Pertinent studies should be done early during the lesion; finally, TB treatment should be initiated immediately after diagnosis is made.

“…The diagnosis of TB infection can be made based on an association between clinical findings with at least one of the following criteria: histopathological demonstration of caseating granulomatous necrosis; positive acid-fast bacilli stain from the biopsied tissue; positive TB polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on tissue or specimen; or histopathological confirmation of granuloma in a cluster with rapid response to anti-mycobacterium treatment. 5 6…”

As it is an infrequent etiology, the diagnosis of perianal tuberculosis is challenging, especially in the absence of a pulmonary focus. TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of perianal ulcers, fistulas, abscesses, mainly in non-healing and recurrent anal lesions. Treatment with anti-TB agents can provide complete recovery. Furthermore, these lesions are often diagnosed later after complete histopathological and mycobacterial results, where the benefit of avoiding morbid multiple surgeries by effective anti-TB treatment is lost.We reported a rare case of an immuno-competent patient with perianal TB, which was the first manifestation of the disease. A fit-and-well man in his 20s presented a large perianal abscess. Unexpectedly, his chest X-ray showed a rounded hyper-transparency in the left lung. The abscess was drained. Posterior investigation with culture analysis from pus swabs and sputum revealed the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex infection. After completing the 6 months of oral administration of anti-TB drugs, the patient was asymptomatic.By highlighting this unusual manifestation, we aim to improve clinicians' awareness of perianal TB, facilitating early recognition and appropriate management.

“…con un 14 %, además, en este estado se reporta la seroprevalencia más alta de todo México [39]. También se destaca en el 2011, en este mismo estado, un caso reportado de amibiasis cutánea perianal en un hombre de 58 años de edad [40]. En Morelos, este protozoo también ocupa el primer lugar con 65 %, seguido de Blastocystis spp.…”

Introducción: las parasitosis intestinales siguen siendo un problema de salud pública que afectan a países en vías de desarrollo como México, ya que se encuentran entre las 20 principales causas de enfermedad, produciendo una pérdida económica importante, y afecta a individuos de todas las edades y sexo, en especial la población pediátrica. Objetivo: conocer el panorama general de los protozoos intestinales en México en un periodo de 20 años, con la finalidad de reforzar acciones tendientes a disminuir su incidencia y prevalencia. Métodos: a partir de la búsqueda bibliográfica en PUBMED, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Scielo, Google Académico y ClinicalKey se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de los protozoos intestinales en México del año 2000 al 2020; se obtuvo infromación epidemiológica y reportes clínicos con la finalidad de realizar análisis comparativo. La República Mexicana se dividió en 8 zonas geográficas. Resultados y conclusiones: se evidenció un comportamiento y enfoque epidemiológico influenciado por las carácterísticas diversas de cada zona, además de afirmar que las infecciones por protozoos intestinales siguen persistiendo considerablemente, entre ellas destacan las producidas por Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica y Blastocystis hominis. Sin embargo, existen zonas en las que no es posible interpretar los datos debido a que cuentan con información limitada. Así mismo, para el control de las parasitosis, es necesario intensificar la investigación, difusión de la información, aplicar medidas de prevención y el correcto diagnóstico dentro de la población mexicana.
