Abstract

Bone and joint tuberculosis occurs in 1-5% children who have untreated initial pulmonary tuberculosis. Spread to the skeletal system occurs during the initial infection via the lymphohaematogenous route. We report a girl with tuber­culous dactylitis which is a rare manifestation of tuberculo­sis. Our aim was to remind that when children have swelling, pain and inflamation signs in the finger, since tuberculosis is endemic in our country, in order to avoid serious consequences we should consider the tuberculosis in differiantial diagnosis.

Özet

Kemik tüberkülozu primer enfeksiyon sırasında basillerin lenfohemalojcn yolla kemiklere yayılım ile ortaya çıkar. Primer akciğer tüberkülozunun tedavi edilmediği çocuklar­da %l-5 sıklıkta görülür. Olgumuz tüberkülozun nadir bir klinik formu olan tüberküloz daktiliti tanısı alan bir has­tadır. Bu sunuda amacımız parmakta şişlik, ağrı şikayetleri ile getirilen ve parmakta inflamasyon bulguları olan hasta­larda ülkemiz gibi endemik bir bölgede tüberküloz osleomyelilini ayırıcı tanıda düşünmemiz gereğini vurgula­mak ve erken tanı ile uzun dönem morbidite ve sekel oranının azaltılabileceğini anımsatmaktı.
