Indian Journal of Tuberculosis. 2012 Jul; 59(3): 168-170.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/159901Summary: A ten-month-old infant who presented with regression of milestones and seizures was noted to have a gibbus deformity in the upper thoracic region. She was diagnosed to have spine and central nervous system tuberculosis by culture of pus from the paravertebral abcess which showed a growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The mother, who had been having recurrent episodes of Urinary tract infection, was diagnosed to have Urinary TB proven by culture. Spinal tuberculosis, though rare, can be encountered in infancy and should be kept in mind while treating infants presenting with related symptoms.enSpinal tuberculosisSpine TBInfantsMaternal Urinary TuberculosisArticle
