Abstract

Unusual manifestations of osteoarticular tuberculosis, especially tubercular osteomyelitis, are described. Diagnostic problems may arise and lead to delay in treatment if these conditions are not considered in the differential diagnosis. The importance of bacteriologic and histopathologic confirmation of the disease is stressed.
