Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis is a widespread disease which is more common in developing countries. Musculoskeletal tuberculosis constitutes 10-15% of cases in underdeveloped countries. The most common site of involvement is vertebrae. Clinical manifestations, location of vertebral involvement and therapy approaches vary between geographic areas. Recognition of specific features of the disease, predominant signs and consequences of common therapies in the region can be useful for physicians and can reduce its complications.Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive case series study included all spinal tuberculosis cases who have been diagnosed in Yazd city between 2001 and 2008. A questionnaire was applied to collect the data about demographic, clinical signs and symptoms, imaging features, medical or surgical therapeutic approaches, complications and outcome of treatment were collected by questionnaire. Analysis was done by SPSS (version 10.5) and p value<0.05 was taken as significant.Results: Fifty patients were evaluated in this study, the most frequent age group of patients the 40-60 year group, and the least frequent was the group<20 years old. The most common clinical finding in decreasing order was local pain in involved vertebrae, weight loss, sweating and loss of appetite.
