| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare type of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and it is uncommon even in places where tuberculosis is widespread. A 32-year-old female presented with fever and headache along with prior history of an ulcer in her leg which was treated as cellulitis at another centre. The neck rigidity, and the Kernig and Budzinski sign were also positive. There were also features of increased intracranial pressure. The non-contrast computed tomography showed bilateral hydrocephalus and hypodense areas. She was managed for increased intracranial pressure and anti-tubercular therapy for disseminated tuberculosis. Biopsy of non-healing wounds should be checked for lupus vulgaris. | |
