Abstract:

At present, the number of patients with spinal tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS co-infection is increasing year by year. However, the clinical health workers are lack of knowledge on the disease and the latest diagnosis and treatment methods of this disease.

It is hoped that, a certain extent, this paper would be helpful for the health workers to unify their understanding on the disease and improve their diagnosis and treatment level of the disease.
