Spinal tuberculosis, also known as Pott's disease, is an infection of the spine brought on by tuberculosis that can cause osteomyelitis, kyphotic deformity, and mechanical instability of the spine. The diagnosis is made using an acid-fast bacilli biopsy sent under CT guidance. Bracing and anti-tuberculosis antibiotics are commonly utilized as therapies when neurological problems or mechanical instability are absent. Surgical intervention is required when there is mechanical instability, kyphosis that is worsening, or neurological problems.Pott's disease is most likely to blame when a person with tuberculosis has severe back pain. You should get medical attention from a licensed healthcare provider, such as our orthopedic spine surgeon, if this happens. Patients may wait weeks before getting treatment for their back issues. If the back pain worsens, the patient may have a variety of symptoms, including the difficulty to stand or walk properly, as well as numbness, pain, or weakness in the legs.
