Tuberculosis in spine is secendory to initial focus from lungs or intestine. In a patient with spinal tuberculosis, detection of lung tuberculosis may be activation of old focus.
Next Steps
To differentiate between lunch tuberculosis and regular cough, rule out tuberculosis by chest xray and other relavent tuberculosis investigations.
Health Tips
Visit a pulmonologist or physician for lung issues and orthopedician for spinal tuberculosis.
