背景：原发性皮肤结核是一种相对少见的表现，尤其是在免疫功能正常的患者中，它可能发生在结核病流行的国家。研究结果：在本报告中，我们描述了一位20岁男性患者，其左脚和右手出现了由结核分枝杆菌引起的溃疡性病变，无肺结核病史。结论：这份病例报告强调了怀疑所有对抗生素治疗无效的皮肤损害患者感染结核病的重要性。
Background: Primary cutaneous tuberculosis is a relatively uncommon manifestation especially in immunocompetent patients and it may occur in countries where tuberculosis is endemic. Findings: In this report, we described a case of a 20-year-old male presenting ulcerative lesions in the left foot and in the right hand caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis without past history of pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion: This case report emphasizes the importance to suspect of a tuberculosis infection in all patients with skin lesions who do not respond to antibiotic treatment.
