<![CDATA[Abstrak Spondilitis tuberkulosis (TB) atau Pott’s disease adalah infeksi tulang belakang yang disebabkan Mycobacterium tuberculosis akibat TB ekstrapulmoner. Penyakit ini tergantung berbagai faktor seperti usia, status gizi, dan penyakit penyerta. Penelitian deskriptif ini dilakuakn untuk mengetahui Profil pasien spondilitis tuberkulosis di Rumah Sakit Pusat Angkatan Darat (RSPAD) Gatot Soebroto. Data diperoleh dari rekam medis sebanyak 75 sampel. Penelitian ini menunjukkan jenis kelamin laki – laki (50,7%), kelompok usia 21 – 29 tahun (29,3%), dan status gizi normal (33,3%) merupakan kelompok yang terbanyak terkena spondilitis tuberkulosis (TB). Jenis pekerjaan terbanyak merupakan ibu rumah tangga (28,0%). Sebanyak 69 pasien (92%) tidak memiliki riwayat merokok dan semua pasien tidak memiliki riwayat mengonsumsi alkohol. Hanya 1 orang pasien spondilitis TB yang memiliki hasil basil tahan asam (BTA) positif. Sebanyak 41 orang (54,7%) pasien spondilitis TB didiagnosis melalui Magnetic Resonance Imaging/ Computerized Tomographic Scan (MRI/CT SCAN) dengan lesi spondilitis TB terbanyak terdapat pada torakal. Kemampuan MRI mendiagnosis lebih baik dibandingkan PCR dan BTA.
