Cervical Discitis in Children

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2015
Cervical discitis, though rare, should be included in the differential diagnosis of torticollis, neck pain and neurodevelopmental regression in motor skills in children and infants. Magnetic resonance imaging is the diagnostic method of choice. Treatment should be conservative with antibiotics only.

Percutaneous Disc Biopsy versus Bone Biopsy for the Identification of Infectious Agents in Osteomyelitis/Discitis.

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology
PURPOSE To determine whether sampling of the disc or bone is more likely to yield positive tissue culture results in patients with vertebral discitis and osteomyelitis (VDO).

Management of postprocedural discitis

The Spine Journal, 2002
Fortunately, the incidence of postprocedural discitis is relatively uncommon. The paucity of physical examination findings behooves the spine care practitioner to have a high index of suspicion in any patient presenting with increasing back pain after an invasive spinal procedure.

Discitis after Discography

Spine, 1988
A series of nine patients with post-discography discitis were evaluated to help delineate the clinical course. The most consistent sign was the marked exacerbation of neck or back pain. This then was followed by an elevated sedimentation rate at an average of 20 days, followed by a positive bone scan at an average of 33 days.

Spinal Discitis and Epidural Abscess


Spinal infections (SIs) are rare conditions affecting the intervertebral disc, vertebral body and/or adjacent spinal tissues. The lumbar region is most commonly involved, followed by the thoracic and cervical regions.

Intervertebral discitis in childhood

Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 1989
Many paediatricians are unaware of the disease entity of discitis, which must be included in the differential diagnosis of several acute and subacute diseases of infancy and childhood. In order to draw attention to this disorder, three Swedish and two Arabic children, aged from 9 months to 3 years, are jointly presented.

Change in Bone CT Attenuation and C-Reactive Protein are Predictors of Bone Biopsy Culture Positivity in Patients with Vertebral Discitis/Osteomyelitis.

Spine, 2020
STUDY DESIGN Case-control study. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to identify the best laboratory and imaging factors to predict bone biopsy culture positivity in the setting of vertebral discitis/osteomyelitis (VDO).

Defining Disc Biopsy Timing in Relation to Blood Culture Results for Inpatients with Suspected Discitis-Osteomyelitis.

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2020
PURPOSE To determine optimal timing of biopsy for suspected discitis-osteomyelitis (DOM) with respect to preliminary blood culture results and the effect of biopsy timing on hospital length of stay (LOS).
