Tuberculoid Papulonecrotic

Tuberculoid papulonecrosis of the skin is an inflammatory reaction around corporal or subcutaneous necrosis. This disease usually affects men, especially smokers.

This disease is caused by the tuberculoid bacillus, which is the causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis. It is possible that people who have a tuberculoid bacillus in the mucous membrane of the nose or respiratory tract can also be considered to have tuberculosis. If a person has skin tuberculosis, this indicates a weakened immune system, inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract and smoking. Some authors classify tuberculides as a special variant of healed tuberculous lesions of skin tissue

Tuberculoid tissue papulonecrosis is an acute inflammation of the skin that occurs against the background of an advanced form of skin tuberculosis. In 90% of cases, the disease is caused by a tuberculosis rod-shaped pathogen. Clinically manifested by white spots-papules, which eventually become necrotic, covered with dry crusts, the epidermis flakes off, and peeling occurs. Hypertrophic scars under the skin continue to develop for 3-4 months after recovery. Pathology is provoked by infection: the stick penetrates through open wounds when the integrity of the skin is broken. The patient becomes hypersensitized and immunopathological reactions are triggered. The tubelonoid type of papilonentrosis affects any group of dermal tissues - mucous membrane, cartilage, muscle, bone.
