Pott's Disease

Pott's Disease, also known as spinal tuberculosis, is a serious condition where tuberculosis bacteria infect the spine. This infection can lead to inflammation and the destruction of spinal bones, causing pain, deformity, and potentially severe nerve damage. Symptoms may include back pain, stiffness, and in advanced cases, noticeable curvature of the spine. It is often treated with a combination of antibiotics and, in some cases, surgery to stabilize the spine. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term complications and improve outcomes.
