Popis:	Tuberculosis, while rare, is a disease that can have several extrapulmonary manifestations. One such known extrapulmonary manifestation of disseminated TB is vertebral osteomyelitis, often referred to as “Pott’s Disease.” We present the case of a patient who underwent back surgery with allogenic bone graft who developed vertebral osteomyelitis and subsequently had disseminated tuberculosis, from an infected bone graft. We review current guidelines for allograft tissue screening and discuss the possible need for standardizing tuberculosis screening for bone allografts.
