ABSTRACT

Una niña de 12 años fue atendida por presentar pápulas milimétricas diseminadas que involucionaron hacia escaras varioliformes. La prueba de tuberculina fue fuertemente reactiva. Se diagnosticó una tuberculosis pulmonar subyacente y la paciente respondió al tratamiento antituberculoso. La tubercúlide papulonecrótica es una erupción cutánea que se cree debida a hipersensibilidad ante un foco subyacente de tuberculosis y sería un indicador de buen estado inmunitario.


A 12-year-old girl was seen with widespread millimetric papules which resolved leaving varioliform scars. Tuberculin test was strongly reactive. Underlying pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed. The patient responded to antituberculous treatment. Papulonecrotic tuberculid is a skin eruption thought to be due to hypersensitivity to an underlying focus of tuberculosis and is an indicator of good immunologic status.
