[Multiple localizations of osteoarticular tuberculosis].

The osteoarticular tuberculosis with multiple sites is rare. It is found in children and teenagers, decreasing in frequency with age, so that in adults it is rare. The clinical and x-ray findings are discussed and three personal cases with x-ray aspects representing sequels of some lesions occurring during childhood and adolescence are detailed.

[Current viewpoints on osteoarticular tuberculosis].

Nowadays the osteoarticular tuberculosis is a disease of adult and senile age. Among my own patients were most frequently affected the spinal column (55.7%), the hip-joint (10.1%) and the knee-joint (9.4%). If other diagnostic methods fail, to the interest of an early ascertainment of the diagnosis the performance of a test excision should not be delayed. On modern conditions a conservative treatment is sufficient in most cases and achieves good results. Here, the chemotherapy follows the usual directives, in which cases on account of the lacking proof of causative organisms frequently must be issued from the probable position of resistance. Excluding early diagnosed, purely synovial tuberculoses of the joint in young patients, even nowadays every tuberculous skeletal focus needs immobilisation. In case that conservative therapy does not lead to an improvement of the findings, operative measures are indicated. Here, the removal of the focus is the first place. A final solution of the problem of the osteoarticular tuberculosis is to be expected above all within the general combat against tuberculosis.
