Cutaneous tuberculosis remains prevalent in Morocco, with scroderma and gumma being the most frequent clinical forms. This study details the epidemiology, clinical features, and microbiology of skin tuberculosis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) is a significant health concern in endemic regions.
  • Understanding its diverse presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the epidemiological, clinical, histopathological, and bacteriological characteristics of cutaneous tuberculosis in Morocco.
  • To identify the most common clinical forms of CTB in the Moroccan population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 216 cases of cutaneous tuberculosis diagnosed between January 1981 and December 2004.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical presentations, Mantoux test results, histopathology, and microbiological cultures.

Main Results:

  • Scrofuloderma and gumma constituted the majority (72%) of CTB cases.
  • Systemic involvement was observed in 35% of patients.
  • Histopathological findings consistent with tuberculosis were present in 57% of biopsies, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was cultured in 9% of cases.

Conclusions:

  • Cutaneous tuberculosis is a common condition in Morocco.
  • Scrofuloderma and gumma are the predominant clinical manifestations of CTB in this region.
