Main Results:

  • Etiopathogenesis involves bacterial or fungal infections affecting the intervertebral discs and vertebrae.
  • Diagnosis relies on clinical signs, advanced imaging (MRI, CT), and microbial culture.
  • Treatment success is linked to early diagnosis and appropriate, prolonged antimicrobial therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Discospondylitis necessitates a thorough diagnostic workup.
  • Tailored antimicrobial selection based on culture and sensitivity is paramount.
  • A multidisciplinary approach improves patient outcomes in discospondylitis cases.
