Tuberculosis of the bones and joints is an infrequently reported entity. Isolated involvement of the elbow joint is exceedingly rare, even in endemic countries. The diagnosis is an arduous task, especially if it presents in younger age groups. Herein, a case of tuberculosis of the right elbow joint in a seven-year-old Indian child is presented. The diagnosis was challenging due to the vague clinical features and rarity of the disease, but he was diagnosed after a detailed clinical examination along with a radiometric assessment. He was initiated on the appropriate chemotherapy.

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is defined as that case of tuberculosis clinically diagnosed and confirmed by bacteriological studies that affects tissues and organs outside the lung parenchyma. Mexico is in third place among Latin American countries in terms of the incidence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Culture methods are still the gold standard for the diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis since they identify the species and susceptibility to drugs.

“…Extra-pulmonary TB (EPTB) accounts for approximately 17% of all TB cases. [2] Childhood and adolescent tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a growing concern and problem in countries with a medium or high prevalence of TB. Worldwide in 2017, the incidence of childhood TB was approximately 1 million with 230,000 deaths.…”

Introduction: Tuberculosis infection is very common, and it continues to be the major public health problem in Nepal. Published data about the epidemiology of TB in children is scarce in Nepal, though it is considered one of the most common causes of childhood morbidity in the country. Aims and objectives: To calculate the prevalence of tuberculosis in children aged 0-15 years and to study their clinico-laboratory profile. Methodology: This is a hospital based study conducted in Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar over a period of one year. We analyzed 289 children aged 0-15 years suspected of having tuberculosis on clinical grounds and subjected to further screening tests. Results: Majority of the children were males and most of the children were 5-15 years of age. 15 of the cases were diagnosed as tuberculosis out of which one case was bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis and be 5.2 %. Fever and cough were the most common clinical presentations and mantoux test and chest X-ray were most suggestive in majority of the cases. Conclusions: This study supports the use of history and thorough clinical examination and high index of clinical suspicion for diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis.
