ABSTRACT
A retrospective study of 23 patients with spondylodiscitis is reported. Sixteen cases were spontaneous. Five of these were seen in the acute phase with S. aureus grown from the blood. Eleven patients were investigated with CT-guided biopsy of the spine with identification of different microorganisms in eight cases. In four of seven cases of spondylodiscitis after operation for disc herniation coagulase-negative staphyloccoci were grown after CT-guided biopsy. In spontaneous cases pain disappeared and CRP was normalized within a few weeks after treatment with antibiotics, but radiological changes might progress for several months. Antibiotics were given for two to six months, with a mean of 5.1 months in purulent bacterial infections, and all patients were considered cured after this.
