Clinical–epidemiological profile of confirmed cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis

Abstract Introduction p = 0.009) and the increased length of hospital stay (p = 0.005). Presence of sequelae at the end of treatment was correlated with the presence of motor deficit at the time of OATB diagnosis (p = 0.035) as well as with initial presence of functional limitation (p = 0.025) and with high value of C-reactive protein at the end of treatment (p = 0.037). Conclusions: the delay in the onset of clinical and laboratory signs of cases of osteoarticular infections hinders the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease, resulting in major complications sometimes requiring surgical treatment and consequently leading to a prolonged hospital stay, evidence of high inflammatory activities, and the presence of neurological deficits.
