    [Bone and joint tuberculosis concurrent with tuberculosis of other organs].

    To study the characteristics of bone or joint tuberculosis (TB) accompanied by TB in other organs (especially the lung), and to study patients' and doctors' delay in detecting bone or joint TB. ⋯ In middle-aged or elderly patients with active bone/joint TB, miliary TB is sometimes caused by bacillemia originating from the infected bone/joint lesions. In cases with bone/joint TB and concurrent pulmonary TB, bone/joint TB and pulmonary TB are probably reactivated independently as a result of decreased systemic immunocompetence.
