Results of ultrasonic echotomography (UET) are available for 42 patients with affection of major joints. Provocation with tuberculin (20 TU) was made. UET data before and 3-5 days after the provocative test were compared. Reactive inflammation at the site of tuberculosis-affected joint caused by the provocation test was reflected by UET. This method detected early tuberculous lesion of the joints in 34 examinees.
