Abstract

Concurrent joint infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) and demonstration of intraarticular monosodium urate (MSU) crystals has not previously been reported. We describe a patient with chronic tophaceous gout from whose joints both TB and MSU crystals were isolated. We propose a mechanism to explain this condition.
