Abstract
|
|
|
|
Since 1897 when Poncet first described polyarthritis in the acute stage of extra-articular tuberculosis, Poncet’s disease has been considered a reactive arthritis to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is characterized by polyarthritis without evidence of direct mycobacterial involvement in patients with active tuberculosis, and eventually resolves without residual joint damage. Even though Poncet’s disease is uncommon, the distinction between Poncet’s disease and other arthritis, including tuberculous arthritis is clinically important. We report the second case of Poncet’s disease diagnosed in a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis in Korea and review the relevant literature.
