Tuberculosis of the Skin and Mucous Membrane Miliary Ulcerative [T. Cutis (Mucosae) Miliaris Ulcerosa; Syn. Ulcer Tuberculous Secondary]

Miliary ulcerative tuberculosis of the skin and mucous membranes (T. Cutis Miliaris Ulcerosa) is a form of tuberculosis that is characterized by the appearance of many small nodules on the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, rectum, external genitalia and adjacent areas of the skin. These nodules are red in color and tend to fester and rupture, forming painful, bleeding ulcers.

One of the characteristic features of miliary ulcerative tuberculosis is the Trel points, which are located along the periphery of the ulcers. Trel points are small nodules or ulcers surrounding the main ulcer. They are an important clinical sign of this disease.

Miliary ulcerative tuberculosis develops with early hematogenous dissemination of the pathogen, that is, the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is the cause of tuberculosis. Hematogenous dissemination means that bacteria spread through the blood throughout the body, affecting various organs and tissues.

The cause of the development of tuberculosis of the skin and mucous membranes is contact with infected materials or persons that are sources of M. tuberculosis bacteria. A weakened immune system also contributes to the development of this disease.

The diagnosis of miliary ulcerative tuberculosis is made by clinical examination, a biopsy of the affected tissue, and laboratory testing of these samples to detect the bacteria M. tuberculosis. Treatment involves the use of antibiotics active against tuberculosis in combination with other drugs to prevent the bacteria from developing resistance.

In general, miliary ulcerative tuberculosis of the skin and mucous membranes is a serious health problem that requires timely diagnosis and adequate treatment. It is important to take preventative measures such as hygiene, vaccinations and infection control to reduce the risk of contracting and spreading miliary ulcerative tuberculosis of the skin and mucous membranes.

Tuberculosis of the skin and mucous membranes is miliary-ulcerative (syn. secondary tuberculous ulcer), characterized by multiple abscesses on the tissues of the body after suppuration of the affected areas of the skin.

Previously, this disease was known as "Hoffmann's ulcers", or mycotic ulcers (from the Latin Miliaria - abscess, ulcer, cyst). Cutaneous tuberculosis is credited with the first use of mercury and sulfonamide treatments in humans. Today, ointments containing bromsulfalein and bacitracin are still used in medicine to prevent the spread of the disease.

The disease is based on intraoral tuberculosis, which is caused by mycobacteria, first described by Koch. This is a sign of a common and dangerous disease.
