Pott's disease (infection of the spine by mycobacterium tuberculosis) is not believed to be contagious, in either the latent or active state. Generally speaking, only pulmonary tuberculosis is contagious--and only in its active state. If the individual with Pott's disease has no pulmonary involvement, he or she should pose no risk as the bacteria have no way of moving from one individual to another.
