Resolution of chronic recurrent pyoderma gangrenosum with latent tuberculosis treatment.

We present a 14-year-old male with chronic, recurrent pyoderma gangrenosum that resolved after treatment of latent tuberculosis. As pyoderma gangrenosum often occurs secondary to underlying diseases, we describe latent tuberculosis as a possible trigger for pyoderma gangrenosum.
