Multifocal Tubercular Osteomyelitis: A Case Report in an Immunocompetent Patient
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Skeletal tuberculosis (TB) accounts for about 1–2% of all TB cases and 10% of extrapulmonary TB cases. Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis is defined as osteoarticular lesions that occur simultaneously at two or more locations. Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis lesions are very rare, and radiological appearance may simulate primary or metastatic disease. Isolated bone involvement by tuberculosis without a joint or pulmonary involvement is extremely rare in immunocompetent patients. We present a case of 30 year old male patient who presented with healed sinus over right foot and left ankle but without pulmonary involvement. Keywords: Skeletal terculosis, Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis, immunocompetent.
