| Popis: | Tuberculosis is on the rise and can infect virtually every organ in the body. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis lacks specific clinical manifestation and can mimic many diseases. Vertebral tuberculosis may not have significant symptoms initially. It can invade the neighboring tissue and form a big cyst with manifesting clinical symptoms. Many modalities are available to diagnose tuberculosis; however, a tuberculous cyst might not be readily diagnosed when the initial polymerase chain reaction test for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB-PCR) is negative. |
