Résumé en anglais

The aim of this paper is to present the results of µCT-scan and 3D imaging analyses of two skeletal lesions observed on human remains of one of the last European hunter-gatherers from the late Paleolithic (Azilian period): a sacroiliac osteoarthritis and a femoral lesion suggestive of a soft tissue abscess imprint. These two skeletal elements (fused left sacrum and coxal bone, and right femur) displayed osteometric criteria indicating that they belonged to the same individual. These two associated lesions are consistent with a low-grade osteoarticular infection, and suggest a diagnosis of pelvic tuberculosis with a cold abscess of the thigh. If molecular confirmation is obtained, this case would be the first evidence of tuberculosis among Upper Palaeolithic populations.< Réduire
