To address the natural history of severe post-tuberculous (TB)
kyphosis, with focus upon the long-term neurological outcome, occurrence
of restrictive lung disease, and the effect on life expectancy. This is a retrospective clinical review of prospectively collected
imaging data based at a single institute. A total of 24 patients
of Southern Chinese origin who presented with spinal TB with a mean
of 113° of kyphosis (65° to 159°) who fulfilled inclusion criteria
were reviewed. Plain radiographs were used to assess the degree
of spinal deformity. Myelography, CT and MRI were used when available
to assess the integrity of the spinal cord and canal. Patient demographics,
age of onset of spinal TB and interventions, types of surgical procedure,
intra- and post-operative complications, and neurological status
were assessed. Aims

The case histories of these Black Notley patients show that no serious harmful effects have been caused by pregnancies going to full term. Most of the patients had normal confinements; Caesarian sections were few and were usually done for obstetric reasons, not for fear of reactivation of the disease. This experience bears out a remark made to me by Marcel Galland. When asked if Caesarian sections were required for women who became pregnant after treatment at Berck for skeletal

Streptomycin and iso-nicotinic acid hydrazide are two powerful drugs lethal to tubercle bacilli, when access to the infected tissues is free. For early disease, before ischaemia and necrosis become established, they are curative: afterwards they are not. In this paper the use of surgery to augment their action has been discussed. The development of such methods may well revolutionise the treatment of skeletal
