title: Multifocal tubercular osteomyelitis: a case with atypical manifestations.
abstract: Skeletal tuberculosis (TB) accounts for about 1-2% of all TB cases and 10% of extrapulmonary TB cases. We present a 19-year-old male with multifocal tubercular osteomyelitis, who presented with progressively worsening back pain, weight loss, fatigue, anorexia, decreased mobility, low-grade fever, and night sweats-but without pulmonary involvement.
