A 42-year old woman with a history of asthma and the irritable bowel syndrome presented with pain and swelling of her feet and ankles that were associated with a rash on her lower extremities. Nine months of isoniazid therapy and close clinical follow-up were important features of the patient's care and an initial diagnosis of erythema nodosum provided an early 'footprint' of tuberculosis in this case.
