Abstract

Abstract: The sacroiliac joint is rarely affected by tuberculosis. Only few cases have been reported. Consequently, the diagnosis is often delayed. This case report highlights the importance of continued awareness for early detection and treatment of a tuberculous sacroiliac joint infection. Abstract : An early diagnosis of tuberculous sacroiliitis requires a high index of clinical suspicion.
