Potts Disease / Tuberculosis of Spine

Potts disease is a presentation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis that affects the spine, a
kind of tuberculous arthritis of the intervertebral joints. Scientifically, it is called
tuberculous spondylitis. Potts disease is the most common site of bone infection in TB;
hips and knees are also often affected. The loer thoracic and upper lumbar vertebrae
are the areas of the spine most often affected.
Pott!s disease, hich is also knon as Potts caries, "avid!s disease, and Pott!s
curvature, is a medical condition of the spine. #ndividuals sufferin$ from Pott!s disease
typically experience back pain, ni$ht seats, fever, ei$ht loss, and anorexia. They may
also develop a spinal mass, hich results in tin$lin$, numbness, or a $eneral feelin$ of
eakness in the le$ muscles. %ften, the pain associated ith Pott!s disease causes the
sufferer to alk in an upri$ht and stiff position.
Potts disease is caused hen the vertebrae become soft and collapse as the result of
caries or osteitis. Typically, this is caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. &s a result, a
person ith Pott!s disease often develops kyphosis, hich results in a hunchback. This is
often referred to as Potts curvature. #n some cases, a person ith Pott!s disease may
also develop paralysis, referred to as Potts paraple$ia, hen the spinal nerves become
affected by the curvature.
