title: [Clinical and diagnostic features in seven cases of sacro-iliac tuberculosis. Contribution of bone scintigraphy (author's transl)].
abstract: Sacro-iliac tuberculosis was detected in seven African immigrants following attacks of sacrolumbar pain with fever, over a period of five years. Two of the patients had a previous history of tuberculosis, and in six out of the seven cases the osteo-articular affection was part of a multifocal tuberculous disease. The value of bone scintigraphy is discussed. Surgical treatment was performed together with medical therapy in three cases.
