[Clinical, x-ray, and laboratory features of tuberculosis and osteomyelitis of the spine].
In 20% of cases, tuberculous spondylitis running with a prevalence of the exudative-necrotic type of a local tissue reaction has an acute onset with febrile fever, severe pains, and progressive neurological disorders and clinically resembles acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the spine. With a predominance of the productive type of a tissue reaction, tuberculous spondylitis resembles subacute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the spine. History data, laboratory parameters, and an X-ray follow-up are of great importance in its differential diagnosis.
