Mycobacteria Intracellulare Spondylodiscitis Presenting as Progressive Consecutive Vertebral Sclerosis: A Case Report

INTRODUCTION: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are slow-growing organisms affecting both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. As compared to tuberculosis, they pose formidable challenge in successful management beginning with diagnosis extending through its treatment. CASE REPORT: Our c...

description INTRODUCTION: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are slow-growing organisms affecting both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. As compared to tuberculosis, they pose formidable challenge in successful management beginning with diagnosis extending through its treatment. CASE REPORT: Our case highlights unusual spinal presentation of NTM, intricacies in diagnosis, and successful management. CONCLUSION: As the prevalence of NTM is rising, it is important as clinicians to understand unique aspects which differ from tuberculosis for appropriate and successful treatment.
