Tuberculosis of the knee in a child

Murat Uzel et al. J Trop Pediatr. 2004 Jun.

Abstract

The diagnosis for skeletal tuberculosis is often overlooked. We report a 9-year-old patient with a history of 2 years of swollen joint, with a diagnosis of tuberculosis of the knee with involvement of the proximal tibial epiphysis, and treated surgically and with anti-tuberculosis drug therapy.
