Abstract

We report 2 children who underwent multidrug antituberculous therapy with rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide followed by dedicated physiotherapy for tuberculosis of the shoulder. Both patients regained a range of motion comparable with the contralateral side after 9 to 10 months.
