Abstract
Diagnosis of tuberculous spondylitis in adults, especially in the absence of kyphosis and a characteristic response to the load of the spine, is often very difficult. Barr (Bulk md., No. 10, 1923) advises in such cases to pay special attention to various "neuralgic" phenomena, unilateral increase in tendon reflexes and Babinsk'oro symptom, as well as to limited rigidity of the spinal muscles.
