Abstract

Tuberculosis is a common disease in developing countries like India, affecting all age groups. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common manifestation of the disease but the disease may affect almost any part of the body. Among cases presenting with skeletal tuberculosis, tuberculosis of the spine, commonly known as Pott's spine, is the most common. Tuberculosis of the short and tubular bones of hands and feet is called tubercular dactilytis. It is a very rare presentation of the disease, usually affecting the small bones of the hand in children younger than 6 years. Tubercular dactilytis, particularly involving the small tubular bones of the foot, is extremely rare.
