Spinal tuberculosis is a kind of TB that affects the human spine. It is also called as Pott’s disease. The germs that cause this disease are mainly present in the lungs first. It can travel through the bloodstream to the spine. The symptoms are usually very mild first and can be ignored easily. But if the infection grows, the germs starts eating away the bones and discs, making the spine weak. This can bend the spine forward and affecting the mobility. One of the worst thing about spine TB is that it’s not usually detected in the early stages. But if found and treated on time, most people recover fully and get back to their normal routine.
