In this study,&nbsp;the available diagnostic tests for cutaneous TB such as tuberculin test, smear&nbsp;for acid-fast bacilli (AFB), histopathologic examination, TB culture and&nbsp;polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for M. tuberculosis DNA from skin biopsy&nbsp;specimen were done in 25 clinically diagnosed cutaneous TB cases&nbsp;attending the Dermatology Ward, YGH from June 2014 to August&nbsp;2015. &nbsp;The&nbsp;positivity of diagnostic test results were compared according to the&nbsp;types of cutaneous TB.</p> 2017-09-12 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000003176 https://meral.edu.mm/records/3176
