[Bone tuberculosis in a hemodialyzed patient--a difficult diagnostic problem].
Recent observations indicate quite high incidence of tuberculosis (tbc) in haemodialysis population. But there are really only few reports of arthritis the infection. Mycobacterial process in this location may imitate many other pathological states. Our report refers to 45-year-old man with right knee the infection and the peri-arthritic tissue, which developed after 8 years of renal replacement treatment. No evidence of the was noted before. Chronic pain, swelling and instability of the knee led finally to surgical extraction of diagnostic material, which contributed to final diagnosis. We consider this report to be important because of only few reported cases of the arthritis. Additionally unnecessary delay in commencement of treatment may lead to bone destruction.
