Abstract
We present a 5-month-old Vietnamese boy who had several erythematous n odules and localized adenopathy that on biopsy revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Complete systemic evaluation failed to reveal any abnorm ality. Three months after initiation of antituberculosis therapy, ther e was marked improvement of his existing lesions and no new lesions. T his form, as well as the other forms of cutaneous tuberculosis, are di scussed.
