Of the several aetiologies proposed, most favoured are tuberculosis and hypersensitivity to tuberculoprotein.1 Since polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers for the insertion sequence of IS6110 consisting of upstream primer: 5′ CCTGCGAGCGTAGGCGT CGG3′ and downstream primer: 5′CTC GTCCAGCGCCGCTTCGG 3′ … ER -
