Abstract
This paper describes a case of spinal tuberculosis diagnosed at 29 weeks' gestation in a primigravid Indian woman. The report illustrates the primary problems in suspecting disease, recognizing the diverse clinical presentations and initiating investigations to confirm the diagnosis. In most cases, M. tuberculosis, once recognized and appropriately treated, should result in an excellent prognosis.
