Overview
Pott's disease resembles spinal tumors, spinal cord abscess, Mycobacterium kansasii, nocardiosis, septic arthritis, metastatic cancer, multiple myeloma, miliary tuberculosis, spinal fungal infections, and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare and needs to be differentiated from them.
Differentiating Pott's Disease from other Diseases
Pott's disease resembles the following disorders and needs to be differentiated from them:
| Disease | Age of Presentation | Common site involved | Risk Factors | Clinical Features | Laboratory Findings | Imaging Findings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pyogenic abscess of the spine | Any age | Lumbar spine | Diabetes mellitus |
|
| |
| Pott's Disease | Children and adults | Lumbo-thoracic | Exposure to tuberculous infection |
| ||
| Brucella abscess of the spine | Adults | Lumbar | Ingestion of unpasteurized milk |
| ||
| Vertebral Metastasis | Elderly | Thoracic | Presence of systemic malignancy |
|
