Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. The resurgence of TB in the United States, mainly seen as an increase in the rate of pulmonary TB, has been paralleled by a concomitant rise in TB of the spine. We report a case of TB spondylitis presenting as cervical lymphadenitis and review the important aspects of this potentially devastating disease.
