Diagnosing vertebral tuberculosis can be challenging, often mistaken for common back pain. Early detection and treatment with chemotherapy are crucial for recovery, as seen in these patient cases.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Vertebral tuberculosis diagnosis is often delayed.
  • Symptoms like lumbar pain can mimic other conditions such as lumbago and osteoporosis.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to disseminated disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight diagnostic challenges in vertebral tuberculosis.
  • To present cases illustrating delayed diagnosis and successful treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation of two patients.
  • Review of clinical history, imaging (X-rays), and diagnostic progression.
  • Monitoring of treatment response to antituberculous chemotherapy.

Main Results:

  • Patients experienced prolonged lumbar pain, initially misdiagnosed.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed only upon development of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • Antituberculous chemotherapy led to rapid clinical improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Vertebral tuberculosis requires high clinical suspicion, especially with persistent lumbar pain.
  • Prompt diagnosis and initiation of antituberculous chemotherapy are vital for favorable outcomes.
  • Integrated diagnostic approaches are necessary to avoid misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.
