  • Title: [Spinal lesions in generalized and multiple organ forms of tuberculosis].
    Author: Oleĭnik VV.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 2001; (4):13-6. PubMed ID: 11523360.
    Abstract:
    The paper presents the results of examination of 152 patients with generalized and multiorgan lesions, mainly involving the vertebral column. The tuberculous process is defined in 64.4% of the patients as a generalized one by virtually simultaneously involving several organs and primarily the spine and respiratory organs and in 35.6% as a multiorgan one when symptoms of tuberculous spondylitis or tuberculosis of other organs rather than the lung appear some period (3 years or more) after organ involvement. Recommendations are given for pre- and postoperative treatment. All the patients with a preserved pathological process in the lung underwent operations on the spine in early periods (1-3 months) after admission to hospital.
