| Abstract: | We report the case of a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus who presented with fever and a disseminated papulous eruption, diagnosed as cutaneous miliary tuberculosis. The diagnosis was made by histological examination of a skin biopsy, which showed numerous acid‐fast bacilli. A culture grown from a skin biopsy isolated a resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain. The papules disappeared within a few days after starting treatment with pyrazinamide, isoniazid and moxifloxacin. |
