Abstract

The authors review the occurrence of multifocal diaphyseal tuberculosis in children of immigrants and migrants in France. In order to avoid mistaken diagnosis it is important to be aware of the pathogenesis and symptoms of the condition. The localisation and radiological picture of the lesions are discussed in detail, together with the development of the disease and the prognosis for later life.
