A Case Study on Spinal Osteoarticular Tuberculosis (Pott's disease): A Case Study Analysis
Abstract
This case study explores the presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of a patient diagnosed with spinal osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB). Spinal TB, a rare but severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, often presents with nonspecific symptoms, making early diagnosis challenging. The case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving radiology, pathology, and clinical expertise for timely and effective management.
Keywords:
spinal osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB), extrapulmonary tuberculosis, rehabilitation, effective management
