摘　　要：We read with interest the case series by Luo et al.,which documented cases of tuberculous arthritis involv-ing the hip and knee[1].Notably,two of the patients in this series lacked overt risk factors typically associ-ated with an increased risk for tuberculosis.Diagnosing tuberculous arthritis in a joint can be challenging and is often not initially considered in patients presenting with monoarticular arthritis,leading to delays in diagnosis and increased morbidity[2].Physicians may not always con-sider or assess for factors that predispose patients to tuber-culous arthritis.Furthermore,the absence of pulmonary manifestations,along with nonspecific symptoms and an indolent disease course,further complicates and delays recognition and diagnosis.
