title: [Osteoarticular tuberculosis in the Ivory Coast. Apropos of 24 cases].
abstract: 24 cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis have been observed in two years in the Regional Hospital of Bouaké (Ivory-Coast). Multifocus and pluri-visceral localizations are frequent. Diagnosis is based on a network of evidence and on the research of an evolutive bacillary focus out of bones. The medical treatment used alone because of local conditions of practice, appears to be effective, even in advanced and complicated cases. But mid-term follow-up is still not very satisfactory.
