Spinal Tuberculosis: An Exhaustive Diagnosis.

Background: The most common organ affected due to tuberculosis (TB) is the lungs. Extrapulmonary TB is less common. Musculoskeletal organs are affected in around 8% of all tubercular patients, of which the spine is affected in almost half of the patients.

Urinary tract infection by chromobacterium violaceum.

Chromobacterium violaceum, a facultative anaerobic proteobacterium, is particularly isolated from water and soil in tropical areas and has been implicated in few infections like septicemia, visceral abscesses, skin and soft tissue infections, meningitis and diarrhea. But urinary tract infection caused by it is very rare. Limited awareness about this pathogen and inappropriate antibiotic therapy contribute to a high mortality rate.
