CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADAPTATION REACTIONS IN TUBERCULOUS SPONDILITIS

Abstract

Spinal tuberculosis remains one of the most severe and disabling forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. According to various studies, osteoarticular tuberculosis accounts for up to 50–70% of all forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis [8,9]. The development of tuberculous disease in the spine is accompanied by bone destruction, the formation of deformities, abscesses, and spinal cord compression, which in some cases leads to severe neurological complications [8,10].
