In the absence of coexisting immunocompromised state and lack of specific symptoms a reactivation of treated mycobacterial tuberculosis (MTB) infection is generally not considered in the differential diagnosis of leg pain. We present a unique case of disseminated tuberculosis presenting as an infected Baker's cyst in a 73-year-old immunocompetent male.
在不存在并存免疫功能低下状态且缺乏特定症状的情况下,在腿痛的鉴别诊断中一般不考虑已治疗的分枝杆菌性肺结核(MTB)感染复发。我们报告了一例独特的播散性结核病病例,表现为一名73岁免疫功能正常男性的感染性贝克囊肿。
