GODINEZ-BACA, Laura Elena  y  LUGO-ZAMUDIO, Gustavo Esteban. Poncet’s disease: unusual manifestation of tuberculosis. Med. interna Méx. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.2, pp.268-272.  Epub 30-Sep-2020. ISSN 0186-4866.  https://doi.org/10.24245/mim.v35i2.2355.

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.
