Key Clinical Message: Poncet's disease is an acute onset reactive polyarthritis associated with tuberculosis infection. Although uncommon, the diagnosis should be considered among patients presenting with symmetrical polyarthritis in tuberculosis‐endemic regions. This is a case report of Poncet's disease presenting as bilateral knee and wrist pain associated with swelling. Joint x‐rays and immunological assays were normal. A chest x‐ray and Gene‐Xpert diagnosed tuberculosis. A complete resolution of symptoms was attained following the completion of antituberculous therapy regimen.
