Involvement of small bones of hand and feet leading to tuberculous dactylitis involvement is a rare presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Even rarer is the association of tuberculous dactylitis with multifocal skeletal involvement, even in countries like ours, where tuberculosis is endemic. The authors report two cases, one of tuberculous dactylitis in a 55-year-old male and another of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis in a 4-year-old male. Both the patients were effectively treated with antitubercular drugs.
手部和足部小骨受累导致结核性指(趾)炎是肺外结核的一种罕见表现。结核性指(趾)炎与多灶性骨骼受累相关的情况更为罕见,即便在像我们这样结核病为地方病的国家也是如此。作者报告了两例病例,一例是一名55岁男性患结核性指(趾)炎,另一例是一名4岁男性患多灶性骨骼结核。两名患者均通过抗结核药物得到有效治疗。
