Tuberculosis glenohumeral: A propósito de un caso

Glenohumeral monoarthritis due to tuberculosis is very rare, so its early diagnosis and treatment represents a challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. It should be suspected in those patients at risk, with subacute onset symptoms and who do not respond to conventional treatment. Although complementary imaging and analytical tests can help in the suspected diagnosis, the definitive diagnosis is microbiological. Anti-tuberculosis medical treatment is necessary to eradicate the pathology.
