Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Poncet's disease is a rare manifestation of tuberculosis characterized by polyarthritis.
  • It affects joints in patients with active or latent tuberculous infections.

Observation:

  • Two cases of Poncet's disease are presented.
  • One case was associated with pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • The second case stemmed from tuberculous lymphadenitis.

Findings:

  • Both patients experienced polyarthritis secondary to tuberculosis.
  • Arthritis symptoms in both cases resolved rapidly following antitubercular chemotherapy.

Implications:

  • Chemotherapy is an effective treatment for Poncet's disease.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis can alleviate associated joint complications.
