    A rare case of primary tuberculosis complex occurred after ritual circumcision. This led to prolonged lymph node ulceration requiring specific anti-tuberculosis treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Mycobacteriology

    Background:

    • Ritual circumcision is a common practice globally.
    • Tuberculosis remains a significant public health concern, particularly in endemic regions.
    • Primary tuberculous complex is a rare manifestation of initial Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

    Observation:

    • A case of primary tuberculous complex following ritual circumcision is presented.
    • The patient developed persistent lymph node ulceration.
    • The condition necessitated prolonged treatment.

    Findings:

    • Ritual circumcision can be a potential, albeit rare, trigger for primary tuberculous complex.
    • Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection can manifest as prolonged lymphadenopathy and ulceration post-circumcision.

  • Successful management involved long-term tuberculostatic therapy.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of post-circumcision complications, especially in endemic areas.
    • Suggests the need for vigilance regarding unusual presentations of infectious diseases following surgical or ritualistic procedures.
    • Underscores the efficacy of standard tuberculostatic regimens for managing complex tuberculous infections.
