We describe three cases of Fusobacterium spp. diskitis and review with attention to risk factors, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and outcome. In most of the reported cases, a ear-nose-throat infection was found. Clinical manifestations were similar to those of classic bacterial vertebral osteomyelitis. Clindamycin is the most appropriate antibiotic. The outcome seems to be very good without relapse with appropriate treatment compared to pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis.
