Abstract

A case of cutaneous inoculation tuberculosis in a 25-year old health care professional is reported. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology and isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by BACTEC 460TB radiometric method. Rapid healing of the ulcer was noted in response to surgical debridement and specific anti-tuberculous therapy.
