الإجابة: B. Tuberculosis infection
Chronic back pain with night sweats and weight loss in a man from an endemic area, with vertebral destruction/collapse, is spinal TB (Pott disease / TB spondylitis). The spine is a common extrapulmonary TB site. Osteoporotic fracture, spondylolisthesis and muscle strain do not cause constitutional symptoms.
