Tuberculosis is primarily a pulmonary disease, but extra-pulmonary manifestations are not uncommon, especially in children and adolescents. Ten percent of extra pulmonary tuberculosis localizes to the bones and joints, and 56% of such cases affect the spine. We treated a childhood case of spinal tuberculosis misdiagnosed as muscular dystrophy in a patient without specific constitutional symptoms. We report this case because the patient had an unusual presentation of spinal tuberculosis.
结核病主要是一种肺部疾病，但肺外表现并不罕见，尤其是在儿童和青少年中。10%的肺外结核定位于骨骼和关节，其中56%的病例累及脊柱。我们治疗了一例儿童脊柱结核病例，该病例在一名无特异性全身症状的患者中被误诊为肌肉营养不良。我们报告此病例是因为该患者脊柱结核的表现不寻常。
