Abstract
Tuberculosis remains the world’s deadliest infectious killer despite the availability of highly efficacious treatment for decades and is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. Treatment of TB in the Ayurvedic system poses a difficult challenge to the Ayurvedic physician. The objective of this study is to discuss the case of a Pott’s spine patient. We conducted a Case report study. We included a report of a confirmed case of Pott's spine, which, after twelve months of regular Ayurvedic treatment, recovered clinically and radiologically from the disease. The patient had an infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as revealed by the culture of the drained abscess. The MRI of the thoracic and lumbar spine of the patient showed discitis of the D12-L1 discs with osteomyelitis involving vertebral bodies from D8 to L1. Ayurvedic concepts that include nutritional support, palliative care, and detoxification therapy form the foundation of the treatment of TB. The overall recovery of the patient from such a destructive disease was excellent.
