[Extract] INTRODUCTION — Tuberculosis (TB), including skeletal tuberculosis, is an ancient infection based upon evidence from remains. The typical features of spinal TB have been identified in Egyptian mummies dating back to almost 4000 BC [1]. Analysis of 483 pre-Columbian skeletons from Chile showed lesions consistent with bony tuberculosis in 2 percent [2]. DNA analysis revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a vertebral lesion of a 12 year-old girl who lived about 1000 AD [2]. The major clinical issues related to skeletal TB will be reviewed here
