  • Title: Skeletal tuberculosis mimicking seronegative spondyloarthropathy.
    Author: Hammoudeh M, Khanjar I.
    Journal: Rheumatol Int; 2004 Jan; 24(1):50-2. PubMed ID: 12783178.
    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.
