Key Clinical Message: In a resource-limited setting such as Sudan, where diagnostic and surveillance capacities are limited and several dermal diseases with similar clinical presentation are endemic, further precautious must taking into account.
Abstract: Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) is a rare infection caused by . Atypical clinical presentations of CTB may resemble other skin neglected diseases. For definitive diagnosis, we require a holistic diagnostic approach including clinical examination and deployment of laboratory investigations including microbial culture, histopathological, and molecular examinations of the proper samples per test. In this communication, we report a case of CTB that was initially misidentified clinically as mycetoma.

Worldwide, a variety of mycobacterial species have been associated with skin lesions in dogs and cats. Lesions may result from systemic dissemination or local cutaneous inoculation. Only infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex organisms have the potential to be transmitted from companion animals to humans, but even then, zoonotic risk is considered low.

Erythema induratum of Bazin (EIB) is a rare manifestation of cutaneous tuberculosis, typically associated with active tuberculosis infections. We present the case of a 75-year-old immunocompetent Spanish woman who developed nodular lesions on her lower limbs. Initial differential diagnoses included sporotrichosis, erythema nodosum, Sweet's syndrome, sarcoidosis, and tuberculosis.

Article Synopsis
- Skin disorders are a major global health issue, affecting millions and requiring improved understanding and treatment approaches.
- Recent advancements in molecular techniques, like PCR and next-generation sequencing, have enhanced our ability to diagnose and treat these disorders accurately and effectively.
- These technologies allow for precise identification of infectious agents, genetic mutations, and gene expression patterns, leading to personalized therapies and better management of conditions like skin cancer and infections.

Introduction: Cutaneous immune-mediated adverse drug reactions are more prevalent in people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH). Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCAR) are a life-threatening subset of cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) and a significant public health issue in settings endemic for human immunodeficiency virus and tuberculosis. However, limited data are available on CADR requiring hospitalisation in African settings.
