Background:

  • Cutaneous tuberculosis incidence is rising, necessitating updated diagnostic approaches.
  • Genomic amplification offers a rapid method for diagnosing tuberculosis.

Observation:

  • Four cases of non-immunosuppressed patients with cutaneous tuberculosis are presented.
  • Cases included lupus vulgaris and gummas, with varied Mycobacterium species.
  • Diagnosis involved clinical, histological, and immunological data, confirmed by culture or genomic amplification.

Findings:

  • Genomic amplification confirmed one case of cutaneous tuberculosis.
  • Culture confirmed three cases, highlighting traditional diagnostic methods.
  • The study underscores the diagnostic complexities of skin tuberculosis.
