Review[Tuberculous spondylodiskitis (Pott's disease): Experience in a general hospital].
Pott's disease (PD) is an uncommon extra-pulmonary form of tuberculosis. Dissimilar data about location, diagnosis and treatment from various hospitals and different countries are reported. ⋯ Pott's disease is a rare entity even among HIV-patients in whom extrapulmonar disease has increased. Dorsal location, diskitis and advanced forms of the disease that deserve surgical treatment are frequent.
