    SPINE

Spinal tuberculosis, also known as Pott’s disease, is a form of tuberculosis that affects the spine, most often involving the thoracic and lumbar regions. It is caused by the hematogenous spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a primary focus elsewhere in the body. Symptoms include persistent back pain, fever, weight loss, night sweats, and in advanced cases, neurological deficits due to spinal cord compression. Dr. Dhruv Chaturvedi, a leading authority on spinal infections, stresses the importance of early diagnosis and initiation of anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) to prevent complications. Imaging studies like MRI and CT scans are crucial for evaluating the extent of bony destruction and abscess formation. In severe or drug-resistant cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to debride infected tissue, stabilize the spine, and decompress neural elements. Dr. Chaturvedi adopts a minimally invasive approach when feasible, combined with meticulous post-operative care and prolonged ATT. His comprehensive treatment protocol focuses on eradicating the infection, correcting deformities, and restoring spinal stability. With Dr. Dhruv Chaturvedi’s expertise, patients with spinal tuberculosis can expect a structured, stepwise recovery plan and improved quality of life.
