Abstract
Skeletal tuberculosis (TB) is still a common problem in developing countries. It is a postprimary manifestation of TB and appears usually with fever, pain, tenderness, and limitation of motion at the involved site. We present a patient with a clinical course very suggestive of seronegative spondyloarthropathy and who had partially responded to sulphasalazine (SSZ) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) but proved later to be a TB case.
