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.

[Analysis of failure reasons for postoperative patients of spinal tuberculosis complicated with paraplegia of 32 cases].

Objective: To discuss the failure reasons of operation for spinal tuberculosis complicated with paraplegia and methods of the second operation.

Methods: Spinal tuberculosis paraplegic patients (18 males, 14 females) were reviewed retrospectively. They have been treated with failing decompressive surgery from January 2001 to December 2006.
