2. Joint fluid examination: the joint fluid of patients with tuberculous synovitis may contain eosinophilic bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while patients with common arthritis do not have Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
3. Clinical manifestations: patients with tuberculous synovitis initially show infiltration and exudation of inflammation, redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints, followed by systemic manifestations such as low-grade fever in the afternoon, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc. Patients with common arthritis usually have redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints. Ordinary arthritis is mostly red, swollen and hot pain in the joints, without generalized low-grade fever and other manifestations.
