Abstract:
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, continues to present a serious challenge to human health. However, there are no reports addressing multidrug-resistant tuberculous spondylitis in Korea. We report a case of multidrug-resistant tuberculous spondylitis at L2-L3 in a 30-year-old woman.
