Abstract

A 23-year-old man is described with tuberculous spondylitis and paravertebral abscedation (Pott's disease). This is one of the rare cases of Pott's disease in a patient coming from industrialised Belgium, not belonging to one of the known risk groups such as intravenous drug users, immunodeficients or immigrants from southern countries. The epidemiology, differential diagnosis, complications and therapy are briefly discussed.
