Cutaneous tuberculosis: Prevention, management, challenges and future perspectives
Treatment of cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) can be challenging due to multiple factors. We discuss the role of Bacillus Calmette Guérin vaccination in the prevention of CTB, complications associated with CTB, drug regimens used for treatment in adults and children, various challenges in the management, including drug resistance, existing lacunae, and future directions in the diagnosis and treatment of CTB.
