Hi, The regimen for spinal TB is the same as the one with pulmonary tuberculosis for most patients. You will need to take them for a period of 6 months. Please first consult with the spine specialist and get a thorough physical examination done. If biopsy too has confirmed TB you can get started with the regimen and follow it up with the physician at regular intervals for blood and liver checks. As for the nutrition, it is best to have a protein dominant diet. I suggest you fix an appointment with your dietitian to give you the detailed list of foods to include in your diet.
