Since 1985 there has been an increase in the incidence of skeletal tuberculosis in Denmark. This increase is attributed to a high incidence of tuberculosis among HIV-positive patients, elderly people and the increasing number of immigrants from areas with endemic tuberculosis. We present a case of hand tuberculosis in a young Somali male adult, where the tubercle bacilli find their way to the third metacarpal bone of the left hand, without a history of trauma or previous pulmonary tuberculosis. There was a delay in the treatment due to misdiagnosis of just three weeks. The abscess totally vanished two months after start of treatment.
自1985年以来，丹麦骨骼结核病的发病率有所上升。这种上升归因于艾滋病毒阳性患者、老年人中结核病的高发病率以及来自结核病流行地区的移民数量不断增加。我们报告一例年轻索马里成年男性手部结核病病例，结核杆菌侵入左手第三掌骨，患者无创伤史或既往肺结核病史。由于误诊，治疗延误了三周。治疗开始两个月后脓肿完全消失。
