ABSTRACT

Resumen LA enfermedad de Poncet es una poliartritis aséptica reactiva poco frecuente que ocurre durante cualquier etapa de una infección activa pulmonar o extrapulmonar por Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Existen apenas 200 casos descritos en la bibliografía y hasta el momento permanece como diagnóstico de exclusión sin patogenia bien definida. Suele responder rápida y satisfactoriamente al tratamiento antituberculoso sin dejar secuelas. Este artículo revisa la epidemiología, patogenia, manifestación clínica, diagnóstico, tratamiento y pronóstico de la enfermedad de Poncet.


Abstract Poncet's disease is a rarely reported aseptic reactive polyarthritis associated to active pulmonary or extrapulmonary infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. There are no more than 200 cases reported in the literature and still remains as a diagnosis of exclusion with unknown pathogenesis. It quickly and remarkably resolves with antituberculous drugs, has usually a good prognosis and does not turn into chronic arthritis. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment options and prognosis of Poncet's disease.
