title: Cutaneous and Skeletal Simultaneous Locations as a Rare Clinical Presentation of Tuberculosis.
abstract: Tuberculosis is a resurgent disease in most regions of the world, infecting one-third of the world's population and having a multisystemic involvement. Incidence of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis has increased in the last few decades as a result of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. The authors report a clinical case of the rare concomitant cutaneous and skeletal tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient transferred from endemic area.
