| dc.description.abstract | Tuberculosis remains a major health problem. Musculoskeletal tuberculosis accounts for about 10-15 % of all tuberculosis notifications in the non-industrialized countries. The spine is the most common site the for osseous involvement and tuberculosis involved multiple sites accounts for 3% of the cases. Sacral involvement and concomittant vertebral tuberculosis is a rare combination. We report a case of tuberculosis with vertebral involvement and an additional infectious foci near the sacroiliac joint. Needle biopsy of the L1 was required for the microbiological confirmation of the diagnosis in our case since Quantiferon test in the serum was negative. The diagnosis of musculoskeletal tuberculosis remains a challange to clinicians and requires a high index of suspicion. Thorough and even invasive diagnostic work-up is mandatory for the accurete and early diagnosis of patients with osteoarticular tuberculosis. | en_US |
