My son,aged 27,is on ATT (first line) for pott's dissease since 24/08/2007.The MRI dt.21/08/08 reveals complete healing of the effected vertebre.Though the consulting surgeon has advised to stop futher medication,yet we are confused at the Radiologist's observation that there is streak of fluid at the effected area.Further,other specialists are of the opinion that the ATT should generally be continued for a period of 18 months at least .Can you please help us come out of the dilemma as to the period for treatment of pott's spine.Should the treatment be discontinued?
Thanks.
