A RARE CASE OF TUBERCULOSIS

Khadarvalli - 17 years presented to us with multiple sub cutaneous abscesses of 01 month duration. Mnay of these abscesses had been repeatedly drained at private nursing homes in Madanapalle - Guess what - none of the aspirates or fluid was ever sent for pathological examination.
We suspected Cutaneous Tuberculosis
and found AFB in the aspirate. St Johns Medical College further confirmed the Diagnosis and after surgery to drain all abscesses he was put on Cat I treatment.
Suffice to say that he is doing very well.
