    Author: Aghoutane EM, Salama T, El Fezazi R.
    Journal: Int J Mycobacteriol; 2017; 6(1):106-107. PubMed ID: 28317815.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis (TB) is still endemic in many developing countries. Involvement of wrist joint is very rare, and the diagnosis is often missed. We present a case of isolated TB of the wrist, which was confirmed with intraosseous tissue histopathological examination in a 10-year-old boy. Antibacterial chemotherapy during 12 months promoted healing and good outcome.
