Abstract
Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis comprises lesions occurring at 2 or more locations of the skeleton. We present an atypical case of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis coexisting with Rhodotorula minuta infection in a non-immunocompromized host. The advantages of computed tomography-guided biopsy in establishing the diagnosis and thus influencing treatment are also discussed.Keywords
