Short summary
Tuberculosis is a serious public health problem. A retrospective study of a series of cases of patients with a diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis was carried out from 2014 to 2019. A total of 30 patients were confirmed. The presence of sequelae was correlated with the presence of motor deficit at the beginning of treatment and the high value of C-reactive protein at the end of treatment. These results may contribute to a better understanding of this disease to reduce complications.
