Abstract: This is a case report of Poncet's disease presenting as bilateral knee and wrist pain associated with swelling. Joint x-rays and immunological assays were normal. A chest x-ray and Gene-Xpert diagnosed tuberculosis. A complete resolution of symptoms was attained following the completion of antituberculous therapy regimen.
