Abstract:
Osteoarticular localization is rare and dominated by spinal disease. The talus localization of tuberculosis is rarely described in the literature; it can be secondary of direct inoculation or results from hematogenous dissemination, most of the time from lung tuberculosis. Its diagnosis is difficult; the imaging is very suggestive, but the confirmation is bacteriological and/or histological. The prognosis depends on a rapid diagnosis and the precocity of the treatment which is essentially medical.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
