Core Tip Pott's spine is a type of spinal tuberculosis characterized by hematogenous dissemination of mycobacterium from a primary lesion. It accounts for roughly half of all skeletal tuberculosis patients. The most frequent type of spinal TB is para-discal tuberculosis. Untreated infections can result in consequences such as a cold abscess, paraplegia, and deformity, all of which may necessitate surgical intervention. Rapid molecular approaches have aided in the detection of spinal tuberculosis and drug resistance, but it remains difficult due to sample collection issues and the paucibacillary nature of spinal tuberculosis. The presence of HIV, which is endemic in some areas, increases the burden and complexity of care. Moreover, the emergence of MDR TB and XDR TB has posed a big challenge in the management.
