[Ex juvantibus diagnosis in suspected skin tuberculosis].
The paper deals with the diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculous lesions, by performing expectancy antituberculous treatment (ex juvantibus and ex nocentibus). The urgency of this problem is confirmed by the analysis of 205 cases of cutaneous tuberculosis of different clinical forms, which demonstrates that the efficiency of antituberculous therapy proved to be significant in 18.5% of cases to make a definitive diagnosis. The optimum procedure for this therapy is discussed.
