RESUMEN
Tuberculosis (TB) is a severe problem in underdeveloped countries. Cutaneous TB is rare and often goes unrecognized. We report a Pakistani child with multifocal cutaneous and pulmonary TB. Microbiologic diagnosis was obtained when the abscesses were biopsied. Four-drug therapy produced rapid improvement of the lesions. A high level of suspicion must be maintained when evaluating children from countries at risk.
