Introduction: Ozone therapy is one of the evolving, yet far from conclusive, alternative minimally invasive treatment option in the management of herniated disc in the cervical and lumbar spine. It causes the decrease in the volume of herniated disc by dehydration. Case Report: We hereby present the first reported case of Mycobacterium infection of the spine secondary to ozone therapy with the aim to caution the surgeons regarding the complications of intradiscal ozone therapy. Conclusion: Lack of proper, adequate, and recommended precautions if not taken can inoculate the varied microorganisms into the intradiscal space leading to devastating and unforeseen complications. Keywords: tuberculosis, ozone therapy, infection.

History Of

LETM is rarely caused by tuberculosis infection. LETM is a contiguous immune-mediated inammatory lesion of the spinal cord that extends to three or more segments of spinal cord. Here we presenting a case of 55 years old female patient with known HIV infection and no history of tuberculosis infection admitted in the hospital with complains of sudden onset of asymmetrical weakness of lower limbs and urinary incontinence from four days. on evaluation she was underwent some series of investigations, in that nally diagnosed with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis due to tuberculosis infection. Then patient was treated with ART and ATT with steroids and supportive treatment along with physiotherapy. after some days patient condition was gradually improving with treatment and discharged, advised physiotherapy daily and followup on OPD basis. So based on this case report, we recommend that clinicians should suspect mycobacterium tuberculosis infection when patient diagnosed with transverse myelitis

Genomic Typing

A case of zoonotic Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in a marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is reported. Genomic typing of the relevant M. tuberculosis isolates strongly suggests that the marmoset, which was kept as companion animal, acquired the disease from an infected member in the household who had been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis 8 years prior to this case.
