Tuberculous spondyodiscitis

Discussion:

A rather unusual presentation for a young patient with such diffuse and dramatic lung and spinal ramifications of TB.

The patient attended with a neck lump from outpatients, which on aspiration yielded pus.  Incision and drainage was performed and microbiology identified Mycoplasma.  

CT chest then performed to assess for tuberculosis.   This was identified along with spinal destruction which resulted in a MRI spine.
