Histopathologic Findings

Background/Objectives The clinical and histopathologic findings of a rare simultaneous occurrence of papulonecrotic tuberculid and nodular tuberclid in a patient with active but asymptomatic pulmonary tuberculosis are presented. Papulonecrotic tuberculid was observed at a very early stage, presenting as molluscum-like lesions. This has been described once in the literature. This was observed in conjunction with lesions compatible with the rare clinicopathologic variant of nodular tuberculid. Critical to the diagnosis of active pulmonary tuberculosis was the use of induced sputum testing, which confirmed the diagnosis despite the lack of a cough and a chest x-ray negative for active tuberculosis. Methods/Results A 40-year-old male presented with a 2-week history of fever and a skin eruption consisting of molluscum-like papules on the ears, arms, and abdomen and nodules on his legs. Biopsies from both lesions were consistent with papulonecrotic and nodular tuberculid, respectively. Despite the lack of any respiratory symptoms, induced sputum grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the lesions resolved on antituberculous therapy. Conclusions and Relevance Tuberculids are rare in Western countries but must be considered in the differential diagnosis of eruptions in patients from endemic countries. An active tuberculous focus must be sought out.

The influence of various regimens of treatment of the regional (in induced sputum) level of proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), who have suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis (PT), has been studied. An advantage of using a combined treatment of COPD exacerbation by means of β2agonist and an anticholinergic preparation (berodual), and also doxofillin (aerofillin) for the purpose of correcting regional (endobronchial) imbalance of cytokine homeostasis is proved.
