<![CDATA[Infeksi M. tuberculosis pada kulit disebut tuberkulosis kutis. Tuberkulosis kutis dapat diklasifikasikan berdasarkan jumlah bakteri tahan asam dan cara penyebaran infeksinya. Diagnosis ditegakkan berdasarkan anamnesis, gambaran klinis, Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), histopatologi, menemukan basil tahan asam dengan pewarnaan Ziehl-Neelsen, kultur, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), dan serologi. Penatalaksanaan umum sama seperti infeksi tuberkulosis lain. Pada lesi kulit bisa dilakukan tindakan bedah listrik, bedah beku, atau eksisi.Cutaneous tuberculosis is M. tuberculosis infection in the skin.
