Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is best known as a pulmonary disease but can infect any organ system. Presentation of extrapulmonary TB is often non-specific and slow in onset, though morbidity is often significant. We report a case of osteoarticular and genitourinary tuberculosis in a patient who travelled from an endemic region.
