INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Osteoarticular tuberculosis, caused by a member of the Mycobacterium genus, represents approximately 10% of the total extrapulmonary tuberculosis in pediatric patients. Its low prevalence and nonspecific clinical presentation lead to a late diagnosis and elevated risk of sequelae.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included seven pediatric patients with non-vertebral osteoarticular tuberculosis diagnosed between 2006 and 2019. The patients were classified in accordance with the radiographic criteria of Kerri and Martini.
RESULTS: The mean patient age was 7,4 years (median, 5 years; range, 2-16 years). The mean follow-up time was 18,5 months (range, 10-32 months). The mean diagnostic delay was 4,7 months (range, 1-8 months). The locations were femoral head osteoarthritis (two patients) and proximal humerus osteomyelitis, talus dome osteoarthritis, distal clavicle osteoarthritis, proximal ulna epiphysis osteoarthritis, and tibiotalar arthritis along with subtalar gland (one patient each). The clinical findings were lameness (four patients), localized pain (two patients), functional impotence, constitutional syndrome (asthenia, anorexia, and involuntary loss of>5% of total body weight) (two patients), local inflammatory signs (one patient), and fever (one patient). One patient was asymptomatic and received a diagnosis during pulmonary radiological analysis. Medical treatment with four drugs was performed in all patients; five patients required surgical treatment for abscess drainage, three of them open drainage, and two with laparoscopic drainage.
CONCLUSIONS: The final results were satisfactory, such that 71% of patients recovered joint balance but with radiological sequelae in 57,1% patients. Good prognosis, according to our results, depends on younger age and early diagnosis with early medical or surgical treatments.
