Abstract
Tuberculous arthritis in the upper limb is uncommon. The authors report a carpal location in a 16-year-old girl diagnosed and treated in Antananarivo (Madagascar) University Hospital. This unusual location for tuberculosis presented as a non-specific monoarthritis. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Specific medical treatment is effective but functional sequelae are frequent in the case of late presentation as in our case.Entities:
