Spine tuberculosis, also known as Pott’s disease, is a form of tuberculosis that affects the spinal vertebrae, leading to back pain, spinal deformities, and neurological complications if untreated. It is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium, which spreads from the lungs to the spine. At Dr Arun Sharma Brain & Spine Clinic, early diagnosis and a combination of anti-tubercular medication and, in severe cases, surgery are used to treat the condition. Causes include a weakened immune system and exposure to TB bacteria. It's crucial to avoid delayed treatment, physical strain on the spine, and neglecting proper medication adherence. The benefits of timely treatment include preventing spinal deformities, reducing pain, and avoiding long-term neurological damage, ensuring a better quality of life.
