The authors report on a tuberculous infection at an unusual location, caused by trauma in the region of the transverse process of the second lumbar vertebra. The pathogen was identified as mycobacterium fortuitum. This is a conditionally pathogenic, atypical mycobacterium of Group IV, the rapidly-growing mycobacteria. It is distinguished by its primary resistance to almost all tuberculostatica. The treatment of choice is therefore the radical surgical removal of the tuberculous focus. Since tuberculosis of a spinous process has not yet been described, the authors have termed this disease spondylitis tuberculosa lateralis.
作者报告了一例发生在不寻常部位的结核感染，由第二腰椎横突区域的外伤引起。病原体被鉴定为偶然分枝杆菌。这是一种IV组条件致病性非典型分枝杆菌，属于快速生长分枝杆菌。其特点是对几乎所有抗结核药具有原发性耐药性。因此，首选的治疗方法是彻底手术切除结核病灶。由于尚未有棘突结核的描述，作者将这种疾病命名为外侧结核性脊柱炎。
