Tubercular infection in the sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus--a case report.
We report a case of multiple pus discharging sinuses in the sacrococcygeal region in a 22-year-old man, who had a history of episodes of pain and pus discharge since 8 months. The patient underwent radiofrequency sinotomy using a Ellman radiofrequency device and was treated with antitubercular treatment, which resulted in complete resolution, and healing of the wound.
