Abstract

Tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases worldwide. The frequency in Germany is low, however, an increase has been observed in the past few years. The incidence of extrapulmonary manifestation accounts for up to 10 to 20%. In 50% of these cases the spinal column is affected. Although literature reveals worldwide experiences in the treatment, in Germany spinal tuberculosis remains a rarity. Different pitfalls and specific characteristics regarding diagnosis and therapy are to consider. Therefore, a presentation of these specifics and their discussion based on the available literature will be presented. The purpose is to achieve an increase in awareness regarding this, in our latitudes, rare disease.

Key words
