Rare case of Sternoclavicular joint tuberculosis with non contiguous multifocal spine involvement.

<p>Osteoarticular tuberculosis comprises 10-15% of the all cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Tubercular involvement of the sternoclavicular joint is very rare. We hereby present a rare case report of the 38 year old female with sternoclavicular joint tuberculosis with cold abscess. The diagnosis was confirmed by FNAC and on ZN staining AFB was isolated. Patient was managed successfully by the anti-tubercular therapy at the end of the treatment. So, a degree of suspicion of the tuberculosis at these rare sites along with investigation followed by anti-tubercular therapy leads to successful treatment of the disease.<strong></strong></p>

We report a rare case of atypical Mycobacterium intracellulare infection encountered in a left sternoclavicular joint of an immunocompetent patient. The 34-year-old female patient presented with a one-year history of left sternoclavicular joint pain and swelling. The patient had multiple radiological investigations, which were suspicious for an infective cause. The patient had a biopsy of the joint, which returned showing acid-fast bacilli. The patient consequently received a prolonged course of medical treatment for M. intracellulare.

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
