Tuberculosis of bone is secondary to tuberculosis of the lungs.

Tuberculosis first occurs in the lungs, and after infection in the lungs can spread through the bloodstream to many systems throughout the body, which can lead to tuberculosis of the skeletal system, tuberculosis of the urinary system, tuberculosis of the digestive system, and so on.

Tuberculosis of bone can lead to paralysis

This bacteria spread to other parts of the body, most of the parts of the body can be eliminated due to increased resistance, but there are some parts of the tuberculosis bacilli may be formed in the local area of a small foci, if the resistance of the body is very strong, it may be latent there, when the resistance of the body is weakened, the latent foci of these foci can be developed and lead to bone tuberculosis, thus bone tuberculosis is a secondary lesion. Why do people with bone tuberculosis lead to paralysis?

Some bone tuberculosis can cause paralysis in patients, which is due to the erosion of the bones by the tuberculosis lesions. As we all know, behind the spine is the spinal cord, and once the spinal cord is compressed or damaged and pulled, then there will be problems in conveying the instructions, and the patient will be paralyzed. The human body from the cervical spine, thoracic spine to the lumbar spine can get tuberculosis, if the location of the disease is higher, the greater the harm, if the cervical spine has tuberculosis, double upper limbs below will not be able to move, if it is the thoracic spine has tuberculosis, then below the chest can not be moved, lumbar vertebrae if you get tuberculosis is mainly double lower limbs of the problem.

Is it possible to get TB in the extremities?

Tuberculosis can be found in virtually any bone in the body, about 50 percent in the spine, and in many other joints, such as the knee, hip, and so on.

Based on the location and development of the lesion, it can be divided into simple bone tuberculosis, simple synovial tuberculosis and total joint tuberculosis. Tuberculosis of joints develops slowly, and in the early stage it is mostly occasional joint pain, which is gradually aggravated and turns into frequent pain, which is aggravated by activity and has pressure pain, and the pain can be dispersed to other parts of the body, for example, the pain of tuberculosis of the hip joint is often dispersed to the knee joint. Because of the pain during activities, there is muscle spasm, which limits the automatic and passive activities of the joints, and the persistent muscle spasm can cause joint contracture or deformation, and the affected limbs are atrophied due to the wastage of muscles. In the late stage due to bone destruction, or epiphyseal growth influence, the formation of joint deformity, pathological dislocation or limb shortening

What are the characteristics of lumbar pain and numbness in bone tuberculosis?

The earliest symptom of spinal tuberculosis, especially in the lumbar spine, is often low back pain, but many other diseases can produce low back pain, such as intervertebral disc disease, lumbar strain, etc. can lead to low back pain. There are some differences between tuberculosis low back pain and low back pain caused by other diseases. Tuberculosis low back pain is a kind of continuous low back pain, especially after falling asleep at night, children or young people often wake up with pain, and the pain will not be improved by resting or taking medication. In the clinician's opinion, the difference between spinal tuberculosis and pain caused by other diseases is that patients with pain caused by spinal tuberculosis have stiff backs and find it difficult to bend over on their own, which is a very important difference.

What are the treatments for bone tuberculosis?

Bone tuberculosis, including spinal tuberculosis, has its general principles of tuberculosis treatment, starting with supportive therapy, with adequate nutrition such as protein, vitamins, enough calories, and plenty of rest. The other is anti-tuberculosis treatment, that is, chemotherapy, given a variety of anti-tuberculosis drugs, need to adhere to a longer period of time. However, when some of the disease has progressed to a serious level, abscesses, paralysis, etc., surgical treatment is needed. Surgery involves removing those bones that have been destroyed by tuberculosis, and then implanting them with bones from other parts of the body, such as the iliac bone, on top of the basic resection, with the aim of allowing the implanted bone to slowly grow and merge with the original soon-to-be-normal bone. The other side of the surgery requires temporary immobilization, and after six months the implanted bone has fused. Then with the addition of medication it is done. The question of the risk of spinal tuberculosis surgery has to be considered from several points of view, first of all depending on the severity of the patient's condition, but also on the technical strength of the hospital, especially the surgeon as well as the anesthesia, and finally on the equipment. At present it seems that the insurance coefficient for performing tuberculosis surgery in China is still relatively high.
