Abstract

Key clinical message: Poncet's disease is an acute onset reactive polyarthritis associated with tuberculosis infection. Although uncommon, the diagnosis should be considered among patients presenting with symmetrical polyarthritis in tuberculosis-endemic regions.

Abstract: This is a case report of Poncet's disease presenting as bilateral knee and wrist pain associated with swelling. Joint x-rays and immunological assays were normal. A chest x-ray and Gene-Xpert diagnosed tuberculosis. A complete resolution of symptoms was attained following the completion of antituberculous therapy regimen.

Keywords: general medicine; immunology; infectious disease; rheumatology.
