A case of vertebral osteomyelitis secondary to Mycobacterium avium intracellulare mimicking Pott's paraplegia is reviewed. To our knowledge, it represents the first published case in a patient without gross immunocompromise. The importance of early differentiation from tuberculous osteomyelitis is stressed as treatment regimens differ and outcomes may be affected.
回顾了一例鸟分枝杆菌胞内亚种所致脊椎骨髓炎酷似波特氏截瘫的病例。据我们所知，这是首例在无明显免疫功能低下患者中发表的病例。强调了早期与结核性骨髓炎鉴别诊断的重要性，因为治疗方案不同且可能影响预后。
