Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis is rare. This study analyzes 18 cases, comparing their clinical features to international data to improve understanding of this uncommon bone infection.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Skeletal tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern.
  • Multifocal involvement of the skeleton by TB is infrequently documented.
  • Understanding the diverse clinical presentations of multifocal skeletal TB is crucial for timely diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical characteristics of 18 patients with multifocal skeletal tuberculosis.
  • To compare these findings with existing international literature on the subject.
  • To enhance the diagnostic and management strategies for multifocal skeletal TB.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis of 18 patients diagnosed with multifocal skeletal tuberculosis.
  • Review of clinical data, imaging findings, and treatment outcomes.

  • Comparative analysis with published international case studies and reviews.

    • Main Results:

    • The study identified 18 cases of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis.
    • Detailed clinical and radiological features of these cases were analyzed.
    • Comparison with international literature revealed similarities and potential differences in presentation.

    Conclusions:

    • Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis, though uncommon, presents with a distinct set of clinical characteristics.
    • This case series contributes valuable data for recognizing and managing this complex form of TB.
    • Further multicenter studies are warranted to fully elucidate the epidemiology and optimal treatment of multifocal skeletal TB.
