The presentation of congenital tuberculosis (TB) is varied, with frequent extrapulmonary disease, but congenital spinal TB has been rarely reported. We present 2 cases of spinal TB (1 confirmed, 1 clinical diagnosis) in HIV-exposed infants with likely congenital transmission. Increased vigilance for congenital TB, including uncommon presentations, is needed, particularly in countries with high HIV and TB prevalence.
先天性结核病（TB）的表现多种多样，常伴有肺外疾病，但先天性脊柱 TB 则很少见。我们报告了 2 例 HIV 暴露婴儿的脊柱 TB（1 例确诊，1 例临床诊断），可能为先天性传播所致。需要提高对先天性 TB 的警惕性，包括不常见的表现，尤其是在 HIV 和 TB 高发的国家。
