Description
Tuberculosis of the spine, called Pott's spine, usually announces itself with back pain and weakness. Bibek Shrestha and co-authors report an unusual case from 2026. The spinal infection appeared together with cold abscesses beside the spine, behind the throat, and in the wrist. Yet the patient had no nerve damage and no general symptoms. Imaging and a rapid gene test confirmed tuberculosis. The patient was then managed with anti-tubercular drugs and only minor procedures, rather than major surgery.
