Tuberculosis, while rare, is a disease that can have several extrapulmonary manifestations. One such known extrapulmonary manifestation of disseminated TB is vertebral osteomyelitis, often referred to as "Pott's Disease." We present the case of a patient who underwent back surgery with allogenic bone graft who developed vertebral osteomyelitis and subsequently had disseminated tuberculosis, from an infected bone graft. We review current guidelines for allograft tissue screening and discuss the possible need for standardizing tuberculosis screening for bone allografts.
肺结核虽较为罕见,但却是一种可出现多种肺外表现的疾病。播散性结核病一种已知的肺外表现是脊椎骨髓炎,通常称为“波特病”。我们报告了一例接受同种异体骨移植脊柱手术的患者,其因感染的骨移植发生了脊椎骨髓炎,随后发展为播散性结核病。我们回顾了当前同种异体移植组织筛查的指南,并讨论了对骨同种异体移植进行结核病筛查标准化的可能必要性。
