Tuberculosis, atypical mycobacteria, and fungi are uncommon causes of infectious monarticular arthritis. The importance of these infections relates both to the difficulty in distinguishing them from other infectious and inflammatory arthritides as well as to their increasing incidence. Recently reported cases indicate more common use of newer molecular biological techniques such as polymerase chain reaction to achieve a more rapid and accurate diagnosis.
结核病、非典型分枝杆菌和真菌是感染性单关节关节炎的罕见病因。这些感染的重要性既在于难以将它们与其他感染性和炎症性关节炎区分开来，也在于其发病率不断上升。最近报告的病例表明，聚合酶链反应等更新的分子生物学技术得到了更广泛的应用，以实现更快速、准确的诊断。
