A member asked:
My wife is 29 & is diagnosed with koch's spine with (lt) psoas abscess, paraplegia/bladder affection.she's under treatment.will she be cured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Koch's disease: This is tuberculosis affecting the spinal column. It can obvious extend to areas adjacent to the spinal segment(s) involved such as the psoas muscle, and can also cause interruption of nervous pathways resulting in paralysis. She will probably be cured of tuberculosis, but to what degree her neurologic impairment will reverse is very problematic and will require much time and patience.
