    Background:

    • Vertebral osteomyelitis diagnosis remains challenging, often masked by nonspecific symptoms like low-grade fever and malaise.
    • Secondary paravertebral abscesses can complicate the clinical presentation, further obscuring diagnosis.
    • Predisposing factors include intravenous drug use, urinary tract instrumentation, and prior back surgery.
