Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still endemic in many developing countries. Involvement of wrist joint is very rare, and the diagnosis is often missed. We present a case of isolated TB of the wrist, which was confirmed with intraosseous tissue histopathological examination in a 10-year-old boy. Antibacterial chemotherapy during 12 months promoted healing and good outcome.Entities:
