Spinal Infections
Spinal infections, including conditions like tuberculosis of the spine (Koch’s disease), can severely affect the spine’s structure and function. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and permanent damage.
What is Spinal Infection?
Infections can affect the vertebrae or discs in the spine, leading to inflammation, pain, and potential damage to the spinal cord. Conditions like tuberculosis can cause significant spinal deformities if not treated promptly.
Symptoms
Symptoms of spinal infections include localised back pain, fever, weight loss, night sweats, and weakness. In advanced cases, neurological symptoms like numbness or difficulty moving may occur due to pressure on the spinal cord.
What are the Treatment Options?
Treatment for spinal infections typically involves a combination of antibiotics or other medications to fight the infection, along with rest and physical therapy. In more severe cases, surgery may be required to remove infected tissue and stabilise the spine.
