Tuberculous sacroiliitis: a case report.
Tuberculosis can affect sacroiliac joints, but only a few such cases have been reported. The onset is usually insidious, and early diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion. We report herein a culture-proven case of tuberculous sacroiliitis which initially mimicked neoplastic infiltration on CT scan.
