[A chronic wound from Vietnam]. Hautarzt. 2020 Apr 30;: Authors: Völker K, Schmiedel S, Vanegas Ramirez A, Fischer M Abstract Chronic skin lesions that occur in patients who have previously stayed in tropical countries pose a diagnostic challenge for physicians. In particular, if there is a granulomatous inflammatory reaction histologically, infectious diseases should also be included in the differential diagnosis. Particularly in persons returning from high-risk regions such as Vietnam, this includes cutaneous tuberculosis, which entails a thorough examination of the patient and comprehensive therapy. This case study shows which steps should be considered if cutaneous tuberculosis is suspected. PMID: 32356072 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
