ultifocal tuberculosis is characterized by the presence
of large multifocal tuberculosis areas in the same or
different adjacent or distant organs. Primary lesions are
usually in the lungs in majority of the patients. Difficulty in
confirming multifocal tuberculosis and consideration of other
diseases may lead to a delay in diagnosis and thus in initiating
treatment. Bone and joint involvement in tuberculosis
is uncommon. While osteoarticular tuberculosis most
commonly occurs in the vertebral column, less frequently
affected sites are hip, knee, and sacroiliac joints. The following
is a fascinating case of open pulmonary tuberculosis associated
with extensive extra-pulmonary multifocal tuberculosis.
