Erythema induratum of Bazin (EIB) is a predominantly lobular panniculitis with or without vasculitis due to (MTB) infection. Atrophic scars may remain after EIB was healed. Rare cases of EIB showing sharp skin depression may mimic deep morphea and lupus profundus.

- The study investigates the presence of anti-phenolic glycolipid-I (anti-PGL-I) antibodies in patients with tuberculosis (TB) at a hospital in Bandung, Indonesia, due to similarities between tuberculosis and leprosy.
- A total of 112 TB patients were evaluated, measuring their serum levels of anti-PGL-I immunoglobulins using ELISA tests, revealing a seropositivity of 27.68% for IgM and 41.96% for IgG.
- The results indicated higher seropositivity levels among patients with extrapulmonary TB compared to those with pulmonary TB and a combined pulmonary-extrapulmonary type, suggesting a need for ongoing monitoring for possible leprosy in TB patients
