- Abstract
The work provides a short, comprehensive overview of skin infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TBC) and atypical mycobacteria. The incidence of TB and atypical mycobacteriosis is increasing in the world, and skin involvement is one of the most common, along with the pulmonary manifestation. However, the Czech Republic is among the countries with the lowest incidence of TB in the world. The skin manifestation of these infections is rarer in our country, but it can affect patients in immunosuppression or with biological therapy, especially anti-TNF-alpha. In addition to the description of cutaneous forms of tuberculosis, attention is also paid to the cutaneous manifestations of atypical mycobacteriosis. The work also introduces the diagnostic procedure and individual examination techniques that must be performed to rule out systemic infection. Lastly, the therapy for these infections is also discussed, and interdisciplinary cooperation with pulmonolgists or infectious disease specialists is necessary.
