Abstract

Osteoarticular tuberculosis (OAT) may cause severe complications and disability. Due to its indolent nature, OAT is difficult to diagnose in the early stages. Diagnosis by conventional culture is time‑consuming and insensitive, and polymerase chain reaction‑based molecular diagnostic methods are incapable of excluding co‑infections. Metagenomic next‑generation sequencing (mNGS) may identify a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including Mycobacterium, bacteria and fungi, in clinical specimens. Therefore, the diagnosis of OAT may be rapidly performed using mNGS. The present study reports on a case of OAT. The patient presented with right knee swelling and pain for 1 year; his C‑reactive protein levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were markedly elevated. Although multiple pre‑operative cultures were negative, mNGS was finally used to successfully detect the underlying pathogen. The result was confirmed by other molecular biology methods and Mycobacterium culture. Anti‑tuberculosis therapy was administered accordingly and the patient finally recovered. In conclusion mNGS, with the ability to detect Mycobacterium and other microorganisms in a single assay, is an emerging approach for rapidly and accurately diagnosing OAT. This method may provide significant support to guide physicians in selecting the appropriate pharmacotherapy and surgical treatments.
