“…Our patients had flexor tenosynovitis involvement but the muscle involvement and/or tendon corresponded for only 1% of all cases of musculoskeletal tuberculosis [18][19][20]. Moreover, in the present study, both patients had atypical infectious manifestations, since affected tenosynovitis bilaterally.…”

“…Concerning to this musculoskeletal tuberculosis form, skeletal or arthritis tuberculosis is more frequent whereas muscle and/or tendon tuberculosis is rare, accounting for 1% of cases of such tuberculosis cases [18][19][20]. In this study, we report two dermatomyositis patients with musculoskeletal tuberculosis (tenosynovitis) due to its rarity and scarcity of coexistence.…”

Dermatomyositis is a rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterized by proximal muscle weakness associated with typical skin abnormalities and compatible electromyographic finds. Tuberculosis could determine several clinical manifestations but the classic one is the lung presentation. Among the extra pulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis, the musculoskeletal form is rare and it is usually a direct extension of the bone involvement nearby. In the present study, the authors described two dermatomyositis patients and musculoskeletal tuberculosis. In both cases, there was presence of bilateral tenosynovitis, which is considered atypical for further infectious.

“…It typically involves the knees, hip, and ankle, but can involve any joints [50]. The clinical presentation is that of chronic arthritis, indistinguishable from that with other infectious or noninfectious causes [51]. Coexisting pulmonary or other extra-articular infection may be evident, more than one half of cases it is not [52].…”
