    Author: Posner KR, Mittal MK.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2010 Nov; 26(11):840-2. PubMed ID: 21057280.
    Abstract:
    Bone and joint infection complicating tuberculosis is most likely to involve vertebrae. Pott disease, or tuberculous spondylitis, represents a small proportion of tuberculosis cases, but it can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Our case report details Pott disease in a teenage girl, which presented with a sternal mass. We also present a review of the subject.
