Diagnostic efficiency of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for suspected spinal tuberculosis in China: A multicenter prospective study.

Background: The pathogens of suspected spinal tuberculosis (TB) include TB and non-TB bacteria. A rapid and effective diagnostic method that can detect TB and non-TB pathogens simultaneously remains lacking. Here, we used metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) to detect the pathogens in patients with suspected spinal TB.

Efficacy, safety and prognosis of treating neurological deficits caused by spinal tuberculosis within 4 weeks' standard anti-tuberculosis treatment: A single medical center's experience.

The present study aimed to retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of the early surgical management of thoracic tuberculosis (TB) in patients with neurological deficits. The medical data of patients with thoracic TB exhibiting neurological deficit in the Chest Hospital of Hebei Province were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 234 cases, including 123 males and 115 females, were recruited in the present study.
