Abstract:
Tuberculous tenosynovitis affecting flexor tendon sheaths of the hand is a rare condition and quite disabling to the patient like tuberculosis elsewhere. It should be attacked by operation and antituberculous chemotherapy, but has a tendency to recur after surgery. The authors have encountered a case of tuberculous tenosynovitis affecting flexor tendon sheaths in the palmar area of the left hand, and treated the case with surgery and anti-tuberculous chemotherapy.
