Unusual spinal tuberculosis after adequate chemotherapy for lymph node tuberculosis in an immunocompetent man.

S P O'Hickey1, A Pithie, C Skinner.   

Abstract

A 35 year old man developed paraplegia due to an epidural mass 15 months after completion of a full chemotherapy course for pulmonary and lymph node Mycobacterium bovis infection. His cellular immune function was normal after treatment. It is suggested that the lesion was a granulomatous healing response rather than bacteriological recurrence.
