A 51-year-old male farmer presented with recurrent mid back pain and weakness in both lower limbs three months after thoracic spine surgery and anti-tubercular treatment (AKT) for tuberculosis. He developed fever, anorexia, and weakness after the local physician modified his AKT drugs. On examination, he had flaccid paraparesis below D8 level with reduced sensations and reflexes in both lower limbs along with bowel and bladder involvement. Differentials included failure of AKT, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, superadded infection, or HIV-TB based on his recurrent symptoms and modification of treatment.
