This type of abscess can be either primary or secondary, and its diagnosis remains challenging due to the non-specific nature of clinical signs. Imaging and microbiological analyses are essential for establishing the diagnosis. We report the case of a 22-year-old patient with no significant medical history, who presented with persistent mechanical low back pain for 18\u2009months. Initial computed tomography revealed a non-compressive disc protrusion, leading to treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, without improvement. Further investigations revealed an extrapulmonary spinal localization of TB in an immunocompetent patient, with bilateral psoas abscesses caused by\n                    <jats:italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , confirmed by the Ziehl\u2013Neelsen staining, auramine staining, culture on L\u00f6wenstein\u2013Jensen medium and GeneXpert PCR. Anti-TB treatment was initiated, resulting in favourable clinical evolution.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/acmi.0.001003.v4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,18]],"date-time":"2025-07-18T16:16:58Z","timestamp":1752855418000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Bilateral tuberculous psoas abscesses in an immunocompetent patient: a case report and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-4632-0709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hamid","family":"Laatiris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohamed V University of Rabat, Rabat, Morocco"},{"name":"Central Bacteriology Laboratory, Mohammed V Military Instruction Hospital, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hajar","family":"Zouaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, Mohammed V Military Instruction Hospital, Rabat, Morocco"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohamed V University of Rabat, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yassine","family":"Benlahlou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohamed V University of Rabat, Rabat, Morocco"},{"name":"Central Bacteriology Laboratory, Mohammed V Military Instruction Hospital, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benaissa","family":"Elmostapha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohamed V University of Rabat, Rabat, Morocco"},{"name":"Central Bacteriology Laboratory, Mohammed V Military Instruction Hospital, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariama","family":"Chadli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohamed V University of Rabat, Rabat, Morocco"},{"name":"Central Bacteriology Laboratory, Mohammed V Military Instruction Hospital, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"345","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.2003.017665"},{"key":"R2","first-page":"413","article-title":"Psoas abscess: report of a series and review of the literature","volume":"63","author":"van den Berge","year":"2005","journal-title":"Neth J Med"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2012.08.016"},{"key":"R4","first-page":"253","article-title":"Bilateral psoas abscess: atypical presentation of spinal tuberculosis","volume":"15","author":"Goni","year":"2012","journal-title":"Arch Iran Med"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01655254"},{"key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11604\/pamj.2015.20.201.5996"},{"key":"R7","first-page":"1113","article-title":"Tuberculose multifocale inhabituelle vue \u00e0 Abidjan","volume":"28","author":"Diomand\u00e9","year":"2014","journal-title":"Rev Mar Rhum"},{"key":"R8","first-page":"375","article-title":"Multifocal tuberculosis.
