Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis

Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis is a rash of small, red papules and nodules in the skin that may appear two to four weeks after inoculation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a previously infected and immunocompetent individual. It is also known as "prosector's wart" because it was a common occupational disease of prosectors, the preparers of dissections and autopsies.
