“…13,14 There was higher incidence among males (66.1%, n= 4,258), possibly because they are more exposed to risk factors such as alcoholism, tobacco use and HIV, a pattern found nationwide. 15 We observed a greater predominance among individuals with a low education level, a fact also reported in patients with the pulmonary form by several studies. The low education level is a determining factor for increased social vulnerability of the individual, increased possibility of exposure, less prevention of contact with bacilliferous patients, for the development of the disease and abandonment of treatment.…”

“…This period may be extended in cases of poor response. As these drugs do not penetrate the bone or fibrous tissue deeply, some guidelines recommend extended treatment up to 12–18 months; treatment durations as long as 4 years have been reported [ 6 9 ]. Here, we present a case of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis affecting the knees in an immunocompetent individual, which progressed with a slow therapeutic response to a fixed-dose combination regimen of anti-tuberculosis drugs.…”
