Multiples abcès froids tuberculeux associés à un mal de Pott chez un patient immunocompétent avec une localisation cervicale au Burkina Faso

Introduction: Cervical Pott's disease is a very rare localization of bone tuberculosis. Its association with cercico-thoracic cold abscesses is also exceptional. Observation: by Xpert test, with sensitivity to rifampicine. The diagnosis was multiple tuberculous cold abscesses associated with cervical Pott's sore. The patient was started on standard analgesics and antituberculosis drugs for 12 months. The course was favorable, with a follow-up of one year after treatment. Conclusion: Cold cervical abscess complicating Pott's disease is exceptional. Imaging and the geneXpert assay are now rapid and effective diagnostic tools for tuberculosis. This particular form should always be suspected in endemic areas.
