A spinal infection brought on by tuberculosis known as spinal tuberculosis, or Pott's disease, can result in osteomyelitis, kyphotic deformity, and mechanical instability of the spine.
A CT-guided biopsy sent for acid-fast bacilli is used to make the diagnosis. In the absence of neurological abnormalities or mechanical instability, bracing and anti-tuberculosis antibiotics are typically used as treatments. When there are mechanical instability, increasing kyphosis, or neurological impairments, surgical intervention is necessary. When someone with tuberculosis experiences significant back discomfort, Pott's illness is most likely the cause. If this occurs, you should get medical attention from a qualified healthcare professional, like our orthopedic spine surgeon.Often patients wait weeks before seeking medical attention for their back problems. The patient may experience a range of symptoms, such as numbness, pain, or weakness in the legs, if the back pain gets worse, including an inability to stand or walk properly.
