ABSTRACT

The case of a four-year old boy with Pott's disease diagnosed by clinical, radiological and laboratory study at the Guido Valladares National Hospital in East Timor is presented. Inquiries about the etiopathogenesis of the disease in relation to the family and personal history were conducted. This is a very complex and clinically important case since a rare and serious complication was observed in the child. It is concluded that early diagnosis of this condition is essential due to its poor prognosis once developed.
