Lytic lesions in Bone Lytic lesions are easily aspirated using a
Jam Shedi needle. Most lytic lesions in bone are metastatic
tumours. However infectious lesions of bone due to
Tuberculosis and opportunistic infections due to HIV/AIDS are becoming more common in South Africa.
Metabolic diseases can also present as lytic lesions in bone

Drug-susceptible TB and MDR-TB are spread the same way. TB germs are put into the air when a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings. These germs can float in the air for several hours, depending on the environment. Persons who breathe in the air containing these TB germs can become infected.
