چکیده
|
Erythema induratum of bazin (eib) is a hypersensitivity reaction to mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. the diagnosis can be difficult because tubercle bacilli are usually not found in smears or cultures of lesions. this study reports on a case of eib in a 13-year-old female, who presented multiple tender nodules on her lower extremities. biopsy of the nodule revealed histopathologic changes compatible with erythema induratum. quantiferon test was positive. the patient received a 6-month duration of anti-tuberculosis treatment. the lesions disappeared during therapy, andnopigmentation was observed at the end of treatment. after a year of follow up, there was no recurrence of the disease.
