Abstract We present a 33-year-old HIV-positive man who presented with a two-year history of a non-itchy papular eruption, associated with night sweats, headaches, poor memory and weightloss.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There was no recognized contact with tuberculosis patients and the patient denied fever, respiratory complaints, anorexia or weightloss. She complained of night sweats and diffuse myalgia and arthralgia going back to several weeks.[docksci.com]
She was not suffering from cough, fever, or weightloss. She had no past history of tuberculosis (TB) or contact with case of TB. She had undergone tuberculin testing 2 days back.[cyberleninka.org]

However, unlike true cutaneous tuberculosis, M. tuberculosis is not detected within the lesions of tuberculids. [1] Currently, papulonecrotic tuberculid refers to conditions in which reasonable evidence supports M. tuberculosis etiology.[cmj.yiigle.com]
Etiology The eruption is a form of an exaggerated host immunologic response to a mycobacterial infection involving the cutaneous vessels. Active tuberculosis is reported in as many as 40-75% of patients, [6] most commonly in lymph nodes.[emedicine.medscape.com]
