ABSTRACT
Acromioclavicular joint tuberculosis is an extremely rare presentation with only 16 cases reported so far and has a relatively high propensity to be misdiagnosed. India being a tuberculosis endemic region accounts for almost 27% of cases worldwide (global index of 2018 was 10 million). With a higher index of suspicion an earlier diagnosis can be made. We report two patients of AC joint tuberculosis, treated with multidrug chemotherapy resulting in a good functional outcome.
