ABSTRACT
Interest in skeletal tuberculosis has been growing in our environment due to the presence of patients with immunodeficiency and those from areas where tuberculosis is endemic. Clinical presentation in the form of skin abscesses with an osteoarticular focus is rare, hindering early diagnosis and treatment. We describe the case of an 8-year-old immigrant boy with a diagnosis of bone tuberculosis based on the presence of skin fistulas.

Two hundred and ninety three cases of children born of HIV positive mothers have been observed between January 1984 and June 1988 in Catalonia and Balearic Islands, with a ration of 9.5/10,000 newborns. Sex was not significant in the infected group. Most of the cases (68%) have been detected since 1987 and represent a significant increase in HIV positive children and thus of those who will present with clinical manifestations of this infection.
