Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (Tbc) is a significant global health concern.
  • Extrapulmonary Tbc comprises about 15% of new cases, with osteoarticular Tbc being rare (1-5%).
  • Peripheral Tbc affecting joints is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • This report details four distinct cases of osteoarticular Tbc.
  • The cases involved Tbc affecting the bones and joints.
  • Literature on peripheral Tbc and Tbc arthritis was reviewed.

Findings:

  • Osteoarticular Tbc, particularly peripheral joint involvement, is infrequent.
  • Tbc arthritis most commonly presents as monoarticular, though oligoarticular cases occur.
  • The presented cases add to the understanding of this rare manifestation.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of osteoarticular Tbc is crucial for timely diagnosis.
  • Recognizing Tbc arthritis in peripheral joints aids in managing this rare condition.
  • Further research into extrapulmonary Tbc presentations is warranted.
