“…The most common manifestations of skeletal tuberculosis in children are spondylitis, osteomyelitis, and involvement of the joints [11,71]. In children, common areas affected by the disease included the knee [72,73], lytic circumscribed lesions of the cranium [7,74,75], spine [71,76], hip [73,77], elbow [78], and ribs [76]. There is no documentation with regard to dental abnormalities found in juvenile tuberculosis [7,79].…”

Without the presence of “caries sicca,” “sabre shins,” and nodes/expansion of the long bones with superficial cavitation, differential diagnosis of venereal syphilis and tuberculosis (TB) may be difficult as various infections produce similar responses. However, congenital syphilis has distinctive features facilitating a diagnosis. A case study of remains of a juvenile European settler (probably male, 8–10 years old) (B70) buried in the 19th century and excavated in 2000 from the cemetery of the Anglican Church of St. Marys in South Australia is presented. B70 demonstrated that the two diseases might have been present in the same individual, congenital syphilis and TB. Widespread destruction of vertebral bodies and kyphosis-related rib deformations indicate advanced TB. Severe dental hypoplasia is limited to permanent incisors and first molars; there is pitting on the palate, periosteal reaction on the skull vault, and thinned clavicles. Dental signs are not limited to “screwdriver” central incisors and mulberry molars. Apical portions of the crowns of permanent upper, lower, central, and lateral incisors have multiple hypoplastic-disorganized defects; deciduous canines have severely hypoplastic crowns while possibly hypoplastic occlusal surfaces of lower deciduous second molars are largely destroyed by extensive caries. These dental abnormalities resemble teeth affected by mercurial treatment in congenital syphilitic patients as described by Hutchinson.

“…[3] Of 106 cases of paediatric osteoarticular TB over 20 years prior to 2001 in Rabat, Morocco, none were identified as drug resistant, and all 80 patients who were not lost to follow-up reportedly recovered fully after firstline therapy. [13] This study is the largest review of ESOA MDR-TB to date in the English literature.…”

“…Children are vulnerable and more likely to have a serious, lethal risk of sequelae (osseous ankylosis) [4]. Early osteoarticular tuberculosis diagnosis is basic to the prevention of skeletal deformities [2,[4][5][6]. The purpose of this study is to investigate treatment results in children displaying skeletal osteoarticular tuberculosis manifestations, using the modern multidrug chemotherapy treatment protocol and cast immobilization.…”
