Abstract
Dactylitis due to tuberculosis (TB) is an extremely uncommon manifestation of TB. We report a unique case of isolated index finger dactylitis with right hilar adenopathy due to TB in a 15-year-old immunocompetent student. High index of clinical suspicion, radiological findings and histological confirmation helped in the diagnosis. Anti-tuberculous therapy remains the cornerstone for the management of these cases.
