Abstract：Cutaneous tuberculosis(CTB)is a contagious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb)that invades the skin directly or spreads from tuberculosis foci in other organs,posing a serious threat to global public health security.Currently,traditional diagnostic and treatment strategies for CTB have some issues such as high misdiagnosis rates,significant side effects,susceptibility to drug resistance,suboptimal therapeutic outcomes,and lack of targeted diagnosis and treatment plans,which severely hinder the effective control and treatment of CTB.To overcome these challenges,the development of rapid and accurate diagnostic technologies,as well as safe and effective treatment strategies are particularly urgent and important.Novel technologies based on nanomaterials have shown tremendous potential and broad application prospects in medical fields.This article summarizes the potential applications of new detection technologies developed based on nanomaterials and the characteristics of novel nano-drugs in the diagnosis and treatment of CTB.
