ABSTRACT
Extra Pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) accounts for more than 50% of the cases of Tuberculosis in HIV-reactive patients and the clinically presentation is often atypical. EPTB sometimes poses diagnostic dilemmas as conventional diagnostic methods have a poor diagnostic yield and definite diagnosis may be delayed. Here we report a case of Spinal TB who uncommonly presented with multiple non healing sinuses in the Thoracolumbar region. Diagnosis was clinched by clinical presentation, +ve Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) accompanied by suggestive Magnetic resonance imaging findings.
