Musculoskeletal manifestations of TB are not widely known. This chapter is an useful compendium of material on this subject. In this chapter, epidemiology of musculoskeletal manifestations of TB is first presented and various rheumatic syndromes caused by TB are listed. The aetiology, pathogenesis of musculoskeletal manifestations of TB, the clinical settings where TB arthritis should be suspected are described. The changing clinical presentation of TB arthritis is also discussed. This chapter is also a treasure trove of information on Poncet’s arthritis, arthritis due to adjuvant treatment of urinary bladder cancer with BCG, panniculitis associated with TB and unusual manifestations of musculoskeletal TB. The chapter is richly illustrated with clinical photographs and radiographic images to enhance the learning experience.
