Abstract
A 4-year-old boy was admitted to our district hospital, in the southern region of Mozambique, with a 3-month history of night fevers, night sweats, a non-productive cough, weight loss, neck swelling, backache, and a progressive deformity of his back. 1 week earlier he had developed weakness of all limbs and was unable to walk.
