Skeletal tuberculosis(TB) is usually a rare osteoarticular disease in which bones or joints are involved. We studied 4 such cases admitted to Iranian National Research Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases from 2000 to 2003. In the initial stages of the disease, diagnosis is very difficult and conventional radiographies often reveal nonspecific findings. Our experience in these cases showed that a high index of suspicion is the most important step in early diagnosis of skeletal tuberculosis.
骨结核通常是一种罕见的骨关节疾病，累及骨骼或关节。我们研究了2000年至2003年收治于伊朗国家结核病和肺部疾病研究所的4例此类病例。在疾病的初始阶段，诊断非常困难，传统的X线检查往往显示非特异性结果。我们在这些病例中的经验表明，高度的怀疑指数是骨结核早期诊断中最重要的一步。
