RESUMEN
Hombre de 45 años, con antecedente de infección por virus de la hepatitis B, que consultó por tumoración en la región lumbar desde hace 3 meses. En la exploración se aprecia fuerza muscular disminuida en miembros inferiores, la radiografía de tórax presenta engrosamiento pleural apical bilateral, la prueba de Mantoux fue positiva. La resonancia magnética nuclear lumbar reveló aplastamiento del cuerpo vertebral D4 y absceso de partes blandas a nivel de L1. El estudio microbiológico reveló presencia de Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Con el diagnóstico de enfermedad de Pott, se inició tratamiento. Desde la utilización de fármacos antituberculosos la afectación espinal se presenta de forma esporádica pero continúa siendo una enfermedad que provoca morbilidad elevada. El tratamiento de la afectación vertebral se basa en medicamentos antituberculosos y cirugía (AU)
ABSTRACT
A 45 year old Filipino male, with history of Hepatitis B virus infection, was seen in his primary care clinic with a lumbar mass for the past three months. On physical examination the lower limbs showed decrease strength, chest X-rays showed bilateral thickening of the apical pleura, the Mantoux skin test was positive and a lumbar magnetic resonance imaging study showed a compression fracture of D4 vertebral body and soft-tissue abscess in L1. Microbiological examination was positive for M. tuberculosis complex, and with the diagnosis of Pott's disease, he began treatment. With the advent of anti-tuberculosis drugs, spinal involvement of tuberculosis is rare, but it continues to have a high impact on morbidity. Treatment of vertebral involvement is based on anti-tuberculosis drugs and surgery (AU)
