Evaluation of histopathology, culture and guinea pig inoculation in 58 patients provisionally diagnosed as having osteoarticular tuberculosis in the Department of Orthopedics, P.B.M. Hospital, Bikaner is presented. The following conclusions were reached. Where facilities exist, all the investigations should be carried out in each case to obviate chances of missing the diagnosis and if possible all the pathological material available should be used. Otherwise histopathology plus guinea pig inoculation or histopathology plus culture should be mandatory. Clinical examination, radiological evidence and gross appearances of the lesion can only serve as an aid to preliminary diagnosis and/or prognosis.
本文介绍了在比卡内尔市P.B.M.医院骨科对58例初步诊断为骨关节炎结核患者进行组织病理学、培养及豚鼠接种评估的情况。得出以下结论。若具备相关设施，应对每例患者进行所有检查，以避免漏诊，并且如有可能，应使用所有可用的病理材料。否则，组织病理学加豚鼠接种或组织病理学加培养应为强制性检查。临床检查、影像学证据及病变的大体表现仅有助于初步诊断和/或预后判断。
