AB1225 TUBERCULOUS SPONDYLODISCITIS: DIAGNOSTIC DELAY AND OUTCOMES

Background Tuberculous spondylodiscitis (SPDT) is a serious clinical condition that must be treated promptly. Despite the actual availability of more effective diagnostic tools, early diagnosis SPDT remains difficult and high index suspicion needed due to chronic nature disease its insidious variable presentation. Objectives Our aim was study correlation between delay outcomes. Methods We conduct monocentric retrospective descriptive in rheumatology department. Data were collected from observations patients hospitalized past 20 years (2001-2021) who have been diagnosed with SPDT. An defined by within first six months versus late retained after 6 symptoms. Results Fifty-two cases (37F/15M). The mean age population 55.21±17.79 [19-91]. Late common: 41 (78.8%) 11 (21.2%) early. Complications frequent (61%) late, but no statistically significant difference (p=0.1). Disease-related complications, such as spinal compression, deformation recurrence disease, higher (45.5%) (p < 0.001). Drug disruption liver balance, hyperuricemia major intolerance anti-tuberculosis, (36.6%) = 0). Conclusion highly sensitive imaging techniques, tuberculous often which may lead severe deformity or neurological complications. Disclosure Interests None declared
