Spinal tuberculosis is just one of the possible diagnosis. What are his symptoms? MRI and CT scan of the Lumbar spine with contrast needs to be reviewed closely and likely course of action will be for CT guided biopsy for confirmation of diagnosis, culture sensitivity of the causative organism, advanced tests like gene expert for panel of spine infections.
