    Author: Rathakrishnan V, Mohd TH.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 1989; 18(4):267-72. PubMed ID: 2781325.
    Abstract:
    Various authors have reported differences in the radiological features of skeletal tuberculosis in the coloured patient. We studied retrospectively the radiographs of 71 patients with proven skeletal tuberculosis seen in our hospital, over a 6 year period. Sclerotic bone reactions and periosteal new bone formations were unusual findings but multiple bone involvement occurred about 15% of our patients. There was also a high in incidence of tuberculosis of the ankle and foot compared to that reported in white Caucasian patients.
