Mossy-like tuberculosis cause

(1) Causes of the disease

Ockuly et al. according to the disease, a sharp rash, symmetric distribution, tuberculosis-like structure in the pathological tissue area, and found acid-fast bacilli, but negative vaccination, it is considered a blood-borne disseminated tuberculosis, but the tuberculin test is negative, Pathological changes are mainly epithelioid cells, and most patients are not associated with tuberculosis in other areas, so some people think that it may be a sarcoidosis-like reaction.

(two) pathogenesis

The pathogenesis is still unclear, and some people think it may be a sarcoidosis-like reaction.

Mossy-like tuberculosis prevention

Precautionary principle: It is mainly to mobilize the masses, vigorously publicize the prevention and treatment knowledge of tuberculosis, conduct regular health checkups, early diagnosis, early treatment, eliminate infection sources, eliminate infection routes, carry out BCG vaccination, and enhance the body's resistance.

Mossy-like tuberculosis complication Complications lichen planus

The disease can be complicated by tuberculosis infections of other tissues and organs, such as tuberculosis, bone tuberculosis, urinary tuberculosis, and reproductive system tuberculosis. Therefore, the disease should be actively anti-infective treatment, to avoid delays in the treatment or delay. For patients who have already suffered from skin integrity damage, care should be taken to prevent infection and to avoid serious complications resulting from increased infection.
