ABSTRACT
Background: Infectious spondylodiscitis or vertebral osteomyelitis
is rare, involves colonization of the disc’s space and the adjacent
vertebral bodies.
Clinical case: Male patient 59 years old diabetic and hypertensive
long evolution is hospitalized in September 2015 with diagnosis of
Wagner III diabetic foot. In April 2016 he was readmitted presenting gramnegasystemic
inflammatory response syndrome consistent with fever of
unknown origin, acute liver and renal failure, being diagnosed bilateral
psoas’ abscess and chronic cholecystitis by abdominal tomography,
coursing at the eight day with acute chronic calculous cholecystitis,
performing exploratory laparotomy with cholecystectomy because
of piocolecisto discovery, psoas’ abscess was not found, treated with
triple antibiotic scheme achieving contain sepsis and renal and hepatic
function was reestablished, medical discharge, persisting with lumbar
bone pain, which is exacerbated with mobilization and ambulation,
accompanied by fever spike. Follow-up visit with important disabling
pain. Lumbosacral spine MRI showed spondylodiscitis at the level
of L2-L3 with paravertebral collection. He was rehospitalized for 8
days for antibiotic management, with favorable evolution, continuing
management with oral antibiotics for a period of 8 months.
Conclusion: Infectious spondylodiscitis is rare and difficult diagnose,
but whenever a fever of unknown origin is present should take
into account.
