Spinal infections can occur in a variety of clinical situations. Their presentation ranges from the infant with diskitis who is unwilling to crawl or walk to the adult who develops an infection after a spinal procedure. The most common types of spinal infections are hematogenous bacterial or fungal infections, pediatric diskitis, epidural abscess, and ...

Spinal infection is a significant cause of morbidity. Despite advances in antibiotic treatment regimens, the incidence is not decreasing due at least in part to an increase in 'at-risk' populations, namely the elderly and the immunocompromised.

Spinal and spinal cord infection
European Radiology Supplements, 2004This review article includes infections of the vertebral body, intervertebral disc, ligaments and paravertebral soft tissues, epidural space, meninges and subarachnoid space, and the spinal cord. A wide range of infective organisms may be implicated and the incidence of some, notably tuberculosis, is rising due to increased immunocompromise and other ...

Spinal infections may be local manifestations of systemic diseases,concomitantwithinfectionsinotherpartsofthe central nervous system, or be caused by direct spread from extraspinal sources. Patient demographics and their immune status play an important role when formulating the differential diagnosis of lesions affecting the discs and vertebral bodies.

Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2014
Spinal infections represent a group of rare conditions affecting vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, paraspinal soft tissues, epidural space, meninges, and spinal cord. The causal factors, clinical presentations, and imaging features are a challenge because the difficulty to differentiate them from other conditions, such as degenerative and ...

Spinal infections are a spectrum of disease comprising spondylitis, diskitis, spondylodiskitis, pyogenic facet arthropathy, epidural infections, meningitis, polyradiculopathy, and myelitis. Inflammation can be caused by pyogenic, granulomatous, autoimmune, idiopathic, and iatrogenic conditions.

MR imaging is the modality of choice for the detection, staging, and differential diagnosis of inflammatory disorders of the spine. Infectious spondylitis is characterized by the involvement of two adjacent vertebrae and the intervening disk with severe BME and early destruction of the end plates. The disk space is narrowed and typically exhibits water-

Spinal cord infections pose urgent diagnostic and management issues. This article outlines a clinical approach to potential spinal cord infection based on demographic risk factors and both central nervous system (CNS) and extra-CNS clinical clues. The spectrum of disease in vulnerable patient groups, such as transplant and chemotherapy recipients ...

A high index of suspicion for spinal infection and an appropriate and prompt diagnosis are essential for the treatment of pediatric spinal infections. A 3-week course of antibiotics and supportive therapy is effective in the majority of cases of discitis, the most common pediatric spinal infection. Patients who are not toxic may be treated with bracing,

Spinal infection is a rare cause of back pain that can have devastating consequences if left untreated. Since back pain can be the only symptom in early spinal infection diagnosing it is a major challenge in primary care, where back pain accounts for 6–9% of consultations.
