Involvement of the hands usually occurs in children under the age of six, with the bones of the proximal phalanx of the middle and index fingers being the most reported sites of infection. We describe a case of disseminated TB presenting as swelling in the index finger. Due to its nonspecific symptoms and insidious course, this condition is frequently overlooked. The presented case is unique compared to other documented TB cases as the child did not undergone Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination, a factor that might have contributed to the disease progression. Additionally, traditional cauterization was noted in the patient's history, a practice that could complicate the diagnosis.
