Posttyphoid spondylitis
Golst (Russian Clinic, 1924, No. 2) reports on 56 of his own observations of spondylitis after typhus, relapsing and typhoid fever. It turns out that spondylitis after typhus and relapsing fever is not very rare and approximately equally often after each of these infections. The clinical course is characterized by rapidly growing pains, which usually disappear rather quickly without any treatment; rarely, the disease can acquire a protracted course, which is accompanied by radiating pain, radicular phenomena, pain when tapping and pressing, kyphosis, scoliosis, spinal stiffness and, in rare cases, paresis, paralysis and contractures of the lower extremities. In some cases, a link is established with trauma.
