Objectives: Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) may be over-diagnosed due to imprecise diagnostic criteria or overlooked where mycobacterial investigations are negative. We evaluated the distinction between multibacillary and paucibacillary forms of CTB, as well as drug resistance and cure rates according to the results of mycobacterial investigations.
Methods: We included retrospectively all patients diagnosed with CTB from 1995 to 2018 in two hospitals in Paris.
