“…Tuberculous spondylitis often involves thoracic vertebra followed by lumbar vertebra. The incidence is decreasing along with the distance from the thoracic vertebra [10]. In all our cases, tuberculous spondylitis affects the lumbar vertebrae, and two of them have thoracal involvement.…”

BACKGROUND: Ten percent of all tuberculosis patients may develop skeletal involvement, and the spine is the most common anatomical location. Tuberculous spondylitis is further complicated by the fast-acid bacilli resistance to the usual chemotherapy regimen (multidrug-resistant/MDR) and its complications. In this case series, we would like to present three MDR tuberculous spondylitis cases effectively treated with tailored chemotherapy regimens and surgical interventions. CASE REPORT: A series of three patients with MDR tuberculous spondylitis is presented. All three patients presented with back pain, lump, and weakness of both lower extremities. These cases were resolved with a combination of surgical intervention and tailored chemotherapy regiment after MDR resistant detected. Two cases were resolved completely, and only one patient had residual paresthesia on his legs. CONCLUSION: A combination of MDR antituberculous chemotherapy and surgical intervention leads to an excellent outcome, in which the patient can perform regular daily tasks without pain, even in complicated MDR tuberculous spondylitis cases.

Appr opriate use criteria (AUC) are statements that contain indications describing when and how often an intervention should be performed under the optimal combination of scientific evidence, clinical judgment, and patient values while avoiding unnecessary provisions of services. Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) is a qualified provider-led entity under the Medicare AUC program for advanced diagnostic imaging, allowing referring physicians to use SNMMI AUC to fulfill the requirements of the 2014 Protecting Access to Medicare Act. SNMMI follows a balanced multidisciplinary approach to guidance development by including various stakeholders in the development process.
