CRUZ-CHOAPPA, Rodrigo; CARVALLO-MATURANA, Javier; ESPINOZA-ROJAS, Elsa Jorge e LOPEZ-MORA, Eduardo. Tuberculosis of the wrist, a rare infection. CES Med. [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.1, pp.68-75. Epub 01-Jun-2022. ISSN 0120-8705. https://doi.org/10.21615/cesmedicina.6333.
Tuberculosis is an infection that affects millions of people worldwide every year, causing a high burden of morbidity and mortality. The pulmonary localization accounts for more than 80 % of the cases. Its diagnosis and treatment still represent a challenge for clinicians, especially for its extrapulmonary presentations. We present the case of a patient with tuberculosis of the left wrist, which was diagnosed with bone biopsy and successfully treated with four drugs during six months.
