^les^aIntroducción: la afectación por la tuberculosis de la columna vertebral se denomina espondilodiscitis tuberculosa y es una enfermedad poco frecuente en nuestros días. Objetivo: presentar un paciente con diagnóstico de espondilodiscitis tuberculosa y manifestaciones clínicas de dolor lumbar y fiebre. Presentación del caso: describimos el caso de un paciente masculino de 46 años de edad, que ingresó con dolor lumbar y fiebre de un mes de evolución. Al examen físico se detectaron manifestaciones de compresión radicular L5-S1, prueba de tuberculina con induración de 22 mm, y en la Resonancia Magnética Nuclear se observaron imágenes compatibles con complejo discótico osteomielítico L5-S1. Presentó una evolución favorable con tratamiento médico. Conclusión: la espondilodiscitis debe ser diagnóstico diferencial en todo paciente con dolor lumbar y fiebre.^len^aIntroduction: Tuberculous spondylodiscitis is the condition of tuberculosis in the spine and it is a rare disease today.
