Abstract :
Papulonecrotic tuberculid (PNT) is a relatively rare subtype of cutaneous tuberculosis believed to represent a hypersensitivity reaction to tuberculosis antigens. Yet, the simultaneous occurrence of PNT and Erythema Induratum (EI) is even more uncommon. Here, we present a case of concomitant PNT and EI in a 53yearold woman without any previous history of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection who was successfully treated with antituberculosis agents without recurrence in a subsequent followup
