Abstract
|
|
|
|
Infections of the intervertebral disc and adjacent vertebrae may present with spondylitis, discitis and spondylodiscitis and are hematogenous origin in most cases. Potential sources of hematogenous infection are skin and soft tissue infection, genitourinary tract infection, infective endocarditis, intravenous drug abuse, respiratory tract infection and infected intravenous injection site. We have experienced a case of pyogenic spondylitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia with peripheral injection site infection. He was successfully treated with surgical debridement and antibiotics.
