Tuberculosis is one of the oldest diseases affecting mankind and is known for its ability to present in various forms and guises. Pubic symphysis is an uncommon site for tuberculous affliction; hence very few cases have been reported in the English-language literature. We present a rare case of pubic symphysis tuberculosis diagnosed as osteitis pubis before presentation to our institution. The patient made an uneventful recovery following antitubercular chemotherapy.
结核病是影响人类最古老的疾病之一，以其能呈现多种形式和伪装而闻名。耻骨联合是结核感染的罕见部位；因此，英文文献中报道的病例很少。我们报告一例罕见的耻骨联合结核病例，该病例在转诊至我院之前被诊断为耻骨炎。患者在接受抗结核化疗后顺利康复。
