Dear Everybody,
one of my friend probably suffer from bone tuberculosis. It is not sure, but based on the symptoms it is bone tbc. After half year of antibiotic treatment some symptoms decreased, but it is not enough. The bacteria is not presented in the cirulation, they are in a capsule next to a vertebra. Doctors don't want to perform a biopsy because it is dangerous due to the accidental spread of the bacteria. So it is not sure but probably bone tuberculosis. One of the vertebra is started to become spongy, maybe the spine can brake. Here is only 3-4 patients with bone tbc in a year. It is a problem in Hungary, nobody care about these disease, none of the doctors have the skills to treat him.
We started to looking for a clinic and a specialist in Europe who is ready to care about it.
If somebody know a doctor or a hospital in Europe who can accept and try to cure him, please let me know. It is not problem to travel to any country in Europe.
Thank you

By the way, I am convinced that any hospital department specialized in infectious diseases can diagnose and treat your friend. This certainly applies also to university hospitals in Hungary.
