| description | The placement of cases of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis (EPTB) on
the appropriate Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS)
regimen remains a problematic issue in India and often, consultants
delay this, leading to significant avoidable pain, discomfort and
reduction in the quality of life of the patients. In contrast, a prompt
institution of the DOTS regimen can regress such problems, even
at a delayed stage. The following case report on polyarticular
tuberculosis which involved the bilateral knee and ankle joints
without a pulmonary or disseminated form of tuberculosis, amply
highlights these facts. |
