Core Tip	Poncet’s disease (PD) is a form of reactive arthritis that develops in patients with active tuberculosis (TB). It is a rare, non-destructive parainfective symmetric polyarthritis. In cases of unexplained atypical arthritis associated with non-articular TB, PD should be considered. PD remains a clinical challenge and is essentially a diagnosis of exclusion and requires a high degree of clinical suspicion. Correct identification of this rare complication of TB is required to avoid delayed initiation of appropriate treatment. The dramatic response of arthritis in PD on starting anti-tubercular treatment substantiates the diagnosis. Further studies are required for better understanding of the pathogenesis underlying PD.
