BONE AND JOINT TUBERCULOSIS IN OUR STUDY - EPIDEMIOLOGICAL, DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC SPECIFICS
Bone and joints tuberculosis is a secondary infection of locomotor system, caused by a Mycobacterium Tuberculo- sis. Low incidence of tuberculosis has been maintained for a long period of time due to use of efficient chemotherapy. Howe- ver, in recent years increasing number of newly registered cases is seen, due to wide use of immunosuppressive therapy, spread of HIV, aging population. Those factors influence mycobacterium more likely to become drug resistant. The objecti- ve of the study is to review epidemiological, clinical,radiology and laboratory findings of bone and joints tuberculosis in our patients, and treatment efficiency. In 15 years of prospective study, 107 different ages male and female adult patients, were treated. In most cases spinal tuberculosis was registered (24%), then hip tuberculosis (17%), knee tuberculosis (16%) and tu- berculosis of sacroiliac joint (7%). Non operative treatment with antitubercular drugs was performed in all patients, while in 41% we used operative treatment. Early diagnosis of bone and joints tuberculosis, while treated with non operative (anti tu- berculosis drugs) and operative methods are preconditions to achieve high percentages of long term remission.

CORRELATION OF CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL FINDINGS IN HAEMODYALISED PATIENTS – SIGNIFICANCE IN RENAL OSTEODYSTROPHY TYPES DETERMINATION
Renal osteodystrophy is significant medical, economic and social problem. Over 90% of patients receiving chronic dialysis are facing some type of renal osteodystrophy. The objective of the study is to determine correlation between clinical and radiological findings in patients with renal osteodystrophy. Clinical study was performed in 60 adult patients, different sex and ages, receiving chronic dialysis, with developed renal osteodystrophy. All patients were having following symptoms: bone pain, muscle and joint pain. Muscle spasm were registered in 68.3% of patients, while proximal myopathy symptoms were registered in 86.6%.Dominant radiological findings were: subperiosteal resorption in 53.3% of patients, diffuse osteoporosis in 48.3%, rugger jersey in 33.3% and soft tissue calcification in 18.3%. We have registered statistically significant correlation of clinical and radiological findings. With this study we have confirmed that different types of renal osteodystrophy can be determined by comparing radiological, clinical and biochemical findings, especially in cases when bone biopsy cannot be performed.
