Abstract

A patient is described with bilateral chylothorax which was associated with tuberculous spondylitis. The tuberculous spondylitis appeared at two widely separated thoracic levels. A similar association has not been reported previously. Anti-tuberculous treatment resulted in healing of the spondylitis and resolution of the chylothorax.
