  • Reviewed literature to contextualize the findings.
  • Prompt initiation of anti-TB therapy led to significant improvement in the patient's symptoms.

Abstract

This case report highlights the importance of considering Poncet's disease in the differential diagnosis of seronegative spondyloarthritis, particularly in patients with underlying TB. A high index of suspicion and prompt initiation of anti-TB therapy can lead to rapid improvement in symptoms and prevent unnecessary investigations and potentially harmful immunosuppressive medications.
