The patient received conventional treatment, including antibiotic therapy and analgesics. Three months after the diagnosis, breast pain persisted (Visual Analog Scale [VAS] score: 8), and the mammary lesions had not healed. Adjuvant treatment with PBM (660 nm and 808 nm lasers, 100 mW, 3,333 mW\/cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, 20 J per session) was performed over 12 sessions in 38 days. After four PBM sessions, the patient reported no pain (VAS score: 0) and stopped using analgesics. Complete healing of the mammary lesions was observed after 12 sessions. The use of PBM was associated with improvements in tissue repair, pain control, and healing of lesions resulting from mammary TB.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.24-0499","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,4]],"date-time":"2025-03-04T15:46:05Z","timestamp":1741103165000},"page":"1077-1080","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Adjuvant
