Primary Tuberculosis, Phlyctenular Conjunctivitis and Erythema Nodosum: A Rare Association

Abstract

Primary tuberculosis (TB) are usually pulmonary, an increase in extra-pulmonary TB as cervical lymphadenitis has been reported frequently. Phlyctenular Keratoconjunctivitis (PKC) and Erythema nodosum (EN) are manifestations of an immunological response to tuberculosis.  EN and PKC may rarely be associated with this, but are usually found separately.  In the recent past, we have not found any case reports with these associations which prompt us to present this case.
