Prevalence
Incidence
In 2005, there were 8.8 million new patients with tuberculosis (TB) all over the world, and of these, there were 7.4 million in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa (5). Involvement of the spine reportedly occurs in less than 1-2% of patients who contracted TB. Although the incidence of tuberculosis increased in the late 1980’s to early 1990’s, the total number of cases has decreased in recent years. In the United States, bone and soft tissue tuberculosis accounts for approximately 10% of extrapulmonary TB cases and between 1% and 2% of total cases. Of these cases, Pott’s disease is the most common manifestation of musculoskeletal TB, accounting for approximately 40-50% (3). Internationally, approximately 1-2% of total tuberculosis cases are attributable to Pott’s disease.[edit | edit source]
Ethnicity
Data from the United States show that musculoskeletal tuberculosis primarily affects African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and foreign-born individuals (3). The number of patients with TB spondylitis in Japan also declined to 233 in 2005 from 734 in 1978 and 276 in 2001 [10, 21].
Gender
Although some series have found that Pott’s disease does not have sexual predilection, the disease is more common in males. The male to female ratio is reportedly 1.5-2:1.[edit | edit source]
Age
In the United States and other developed countries, Pott’s disease occurs primarily in adults. In underdeveloped countries which have higher rates of Pott’s disease, involvement in young adults and older children predominates (3).
