Abstract

Despite the increasing prevalence of tuberculosis in developed countries, tuberculous osteomyelitis of the foot remains an uncommon complication. The relative rarity of such a diagnosis means that delays are often incurred before clinicians can correctly identify the pathogen and therefore instigate appropriate chemotherapy. The authors present a case of midfoot pain secondary to tuberculous osteomyelitis.Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level IV: Case Study.
