RESUMEN

Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major cause of myelopathy and radiculopathy in settings with a high prevalence of tuberculosis/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection. However, a paucity of publications exists on the spectrum of neurological and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of spinal tuberculosis in these populations. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of adults with spinal tuberculosis at a referral center in South Africa for patients with spinal disease without bony involvement seen at plain film radiography. We report the clinical, laboratory and spinal MR imaging findings, compare HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients, and correlate clinical and cerebrospinal fluid findings with those of MR imaging. Results: Of 274 patients, 209 (76%) were HIV infected and 49 (18%) were HIV uninfected. Radiculomyelitis occurred in 77% (n = 210), and spondylitis in 39% (n = 106). Subdural abscess (n = 42) and intramedullary tuberculoma (n = 33) were common. In 24% of HIV-infected and 14% of HIV-uninfected patients, spinal disease manifested as a paradoxical tuberculosis reaction, frequently following tuberculous meningitis. The triad of neurological deficit, fever, and back pain was similar in patients with spondylitis (24%), epi/subdural abscess without bony disease (14%), meningoradiculitis (17%), and isolated myelitis (17%) . Conclusions: Radiculomyelitis is a common manifestation of spinal tuberculosis in settings with high tuberculosis/HIV prevalence, often presenting as a paradoxical reaction. We describe a high frequency of rarely reported spinal tuberculosis manifestations, suggesting that these are more common than implied by the literature.
