Alocalised rarefaction of bone in the neighbourhood of a joint should arousesuspicion of the presence of pus, particularly when the bone round the rarefiedarea shows a tendency to condensation. The epiphysis may assume a worm-eaten appearance, which is distinctive of early caries ; later this maycompletely disappear. It is important also to be able to distinguish between tuberculous andnon-tubercu
