Abstract

: In this report, a 27 years old male patient diagnosed to have skin and bone tuberculosis (TB) has been presented. The patient admitted to the hospital with the complaints of fever, weight loss and night sweats. Patient's history revealed that following a trauma a skin lesion in the right ankle was developed and this was followed by the development of many lesions in different parts of the body. The lesions persisted despite the use of various antibiotics since a year. It has been recorded that his father has already been receiving anti-tuberculosis treatment. Osteomyelitis was detected in the distal part of right tibia by computerized tomography, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from the specimens of skin lesion. The patient was immunocompetent, and there was no pulmonary involvement. Isoniazid (INAH), rifampin (RIF), ethambutol and morphozinamid therapy has been started and completed to 12 months with INAH and RIF. In the post-treatment follow-up of patient for one year, no relapse was detected. As a result, tuberculosis should be considered in patients with persistent skin lesions especially in endemic countries.

Özet

Bu yazıda,, deri ve kemik tutulumu olan bir tüberküloz (TB) olgusu sunulmaktadır. Kliniğimize ateş, kilo kaybı ve gece terlemesi yakınmalarıyla başvuran 27 yaşında bir erkek hastanın öyküsünden; travma sonrası sağ ayak bileğinde bir lezyonun ortaya çıktığı, bunu diğer bölgelerdeki lezyonların izlediği, deri lezyonlarının bir yıldır kullandığı çeşitli antibiyotiklere rağmen iyileşmediği ve babasının^TB nedeniyle halen tedavi gördüğü belirlenmiştir. Bilgisayarlı tomografide hastanın sağ tibia distaiinde osteomiyelit saptanmış ve deri lezyonu örneklerinden Mycobacterium tuberculosis izole edilmiştir. Hastada herhangi bir immün yetmezlik durumu yoktur ve akciğer tutulumu gözlenmemiştir. Hastaya izoniazid (İNAH), rifampisin (RİF), etambutol ve morfozinamid tedavisi başlanmış ve RİF ve İNAH ile 12 aya tamamlanmıştır. Tedaviden sonra bir yıl süreyle izlenen hastada yineleme saptanmamıştır. Sonuç olarak, bu olguda olduğu gibi uzun süreli deri lezyonları ile başvuran hastalarda tüberkülozun akla getirilmesi gereklidir.
