title: [Clinical and laboratory features in tuberculosis and osteomyelitis of the spine].
abstract: Tuberculous spondylitis runs atypically with its acute onset, high fever, and violent pain in 20% of cases. This disease is characterized by a high specific activity of T lymphocytes, by high levels of antituberculous antibodies, by a higher activity of adenosine deaminase, by higher concentrations of IgA and IgE. The gradual onset and few-symptom course of hematogenous osteomyelitis were revealed in 15% of cases. In osteomyelitis, there was a low concentration of antituberculous antibodies, higher levels of low and medium molecular mass, and IgG.
