title: Cutaneous tuberculosis of the penis and sexual transmission of tuberculosis confirmed by molecular typing.
abstract: A case of culture-positive primary cutaneous Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the penis was diagnosed in a male patient; 1 year later, endometrial tuberculosis was diagnosed in the patient's wife. These organisms were confirmed to be indistinguishable by use of molecular techniques.
