INFECTIONS: TUBERCULOSIS OF THE SPINE
AND PYOGENIC INFECTIONS

SPINE CARE | VITUS CLINICAL SERVICES | BANGALORE

Infections of the spine can be caused by a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Two of the most common types of spinal infections are tuberculosis of the spine and pyogenic infections.

 

Tuberculosis of the spine, also known as Pott's disease, is a form of tuberculosis that affects the vertebral bodies of the spine. This type of infection is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is characterized by the formation of granulomas (inflammatory clusters of immune cells) within the vertebral body. Symptoms of Pott's disease can include back pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility in the affected area. If left untreated, the infection can lead to spinal deformities and even paralysis.

Pyogenic infections, also known as septic arthritis, are caused by bacteria and are characterized by the presence of pus in the affected joint. These infections can affect any joint in the body, including the joints of the spine. Symptoms of pyogenic infections can include fever, redness, and warmth in the affected area, as well as severe pain and difficulty moving the affected joint. If left untreated, these infections can lead to permanent joint damage and even sepsis (a potentially life-threatening infection that spreads throughout the body).

 

Treatment for both tuberculosis of the spine and pyogenic infections typically involves a combination of antibiotics and surgery. Antibiotics are used to kill the bacteria causing the infection, while surgery is used to remove any infected tissue and to stabilize the affected area of the spine.
