ABSTRACT
Eleven elderly patients with tuberculous arthritis of 12 peripheral joints were studied retrospectively. The disease usually presented as a monoarticular arthritis often in the absence of other signs of tuberculosis. A delay in diagnosis was a common feature and synovial biopsies provided the highest diagnostic yield.
