Tubercular gumma- report of 2 case
ABSTRACT
Tuberculous gumma is a rear form of cutaneous tuberculosis. Occuring following
haematogenous dissemination, during lowered resistance in the body. Tubercular guma is
charecterised by either multiple abscess or ulcers on extremities. We hereby report 2 cases of
tuberculous gumma in an immunocompetent cases. The fist case was a 29year old house wife,
with multiple subcutaneous nodule, soften to form abscess on the dorsum of feet, over a period
of 6-7months.The second case was a 9year boy, who developed multiple non healing ulcer with
exuberant granulation tissue on it, on the dorsum of right foot & face for 5 months. Both these
cases had positive Mantoux test , raised ESR. None of them were detected to had any other
focus of tuberculosis. Responded to antitubercular therapy.To the best of our knowledge only
3case of tuberculous gumma have been reported in literature till date and only one has been
reported from India, though there are large studies with large group of patients . [2-6]
We came
across two cases of tuberculous gumma, over the span of 2-3months and in immunocompetent
patients.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/da0901b4-6efd-42bb-b593-277086179e34-160407070452/85/Sample-difference-between-Proofreading-Copyediting-and-Substantive-Editing-1-1-320.jpg)

charaecterised by either multiple abscesses or ulcers on the extremities. Herein, wWe hereby
report 2 two cases of tuberculous gumma in an immunocompetent casespatients. The first case
was is that of a 29-year- old house wife who developed, with multiple subcutaneous nodules,
which later softened to form abscesses, on the dorsum of her feet , over a period of 6-7 months.
The second case was is that of a 9-year-old boy, who developed multiple non- healing ulcers
with exuberant granulation tissue on it, on the dorsum of his right foot & and on his face for
during 5 months. Both these cases had a positive Mantoux test , and raised erythrocyte
sedimentation rate (ESR) values. None of them were detected to had any other focus of
tuberculosis was detected, and both patients. rResponded well to antitubercular therapy. To the
best of our knowledge, so far only three 3cases of tuberculous gumma have been reported in the
literature. Among these cases, only till date and only one has been reported from India, despite
the fact that though there are largea number of studies with large groups of patients have been
conducted in this country . [2-6]
We encountered came across two cases of tuberculous gumma, in
immunocompetent patients over the span of 2-3 months and in immunocompetent patients.

Comment [hk5]: Add alternate names
("metastatic tuberculous abscess" and "metastatic
tuberculous ulcer") here or in the Introduction:
“Tuberculous gumma, also known as…, is a rare
form…”
Generally, the correct place for this is the
Introduction. However, here it would requires that
the Introduction section is modified (see comment
#16 below).
Comment [hk6]: Edited to specify what is
disseminated.
Comment [hk7]: General statements are written
in present tense.
Comment [hk8]: Generally, it is recommended
that the term of an abbreviation is spelled out at the
first occurrence.
Readers of manuscripts may be patients, students, or
other outsiders of the field. Thus, they may not be
familiar with (standard) abbreviations.
Comment [hk9]: A very recent report (published
online on Sep 2010) states that tuberculous gumma
has been reported infrequently in Indian children.
See: Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol
2010;76:494-503.
Thus, it seems to me that you should check your
statement about the number of cases reported.

Comment [hk11]: This part constitutes
background information and is not necessarily
relevant for the abstract.
I recommend to move the entire part to the
Introduction section. This would also resolve the
issue regarding citations (see previous comment).](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/da0901b4-6efd-42bb-b593-277086179e34-160407070452/85/Sample-difference-between-Proofreading-Copyediting-and-Substantive-Editing-1-4-320.jpg)
