Tuberculosis: Antituberculosis drugs have been shown effective in studies of treatment of spinal TB in the absence of neurologic deficit, instability, and deformity regardless of presence of paravertebral abscess. Adequate early treatment can prevent severe complications. Rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamid for 2 mos followed by INH and Rifampin for up to 18 mos is recommended.
