Abstract
Primary penile tuberculosis associated with bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy is described in a previously healthy 10-month old infant, who had been circumcised in Pakistan 4 months earlier. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected by acid fast stain, PCR and culture in specimens obtained from the penile ulcer and the excised inguinal lymph nodes.
