摘　　要：Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease,caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis,that seriously endangers human health.Skeletal tuberculosis is the most common type of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous arthritis is the second most common type of skeletal tuberculosis.We report a case series of patients with tuberculous arthritis,two of whom had no joint disease in the past and presented as monoarthritis.The final patient had a history of rheumatoid arthritis,with polyarthritis that was aggravated during treatment with glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive drugs.This series of cases can contribute to early diagnosis and treatment with appropriate infection control measures.
