Epidemiology and Demographics
- Skeletal involvement occurs approximately in 10% of patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis.[1]
- Spinal tuberculosis is the most commonly affected site in skeletal tuberculosis and accounts for 50% of cases with skeletal tuberculosis.[1]
Incidence and Prevalence
Age
Pott's disease occurs primarily in adults in the United States and other developed countries. In developing countries, it occurs primarily in young adults and older children.[2]
Gender
Pott's disease is more common in males (male-to-female ratio of 1.5-2:1).
Race
Pott's disease primarily affects African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and foreign-born individuals.
Developed Countries
In the Netherlands, musculoskeletal tuberculosis accounted for 3.5% of all tuberculosis cases between 1993 and 2001.
Developing Countries
There are nearly 6 million radiologically proven cases of tuberculosis in India. Of all the patients suffering from tuberculosis, nearly 1–2% have involvement of the skeletal system. Pott's disease is the most common form of skeletal tuberculosis, and constitutes about 50% of all cases of skeletal tuberculosis.
