    Needle aspiration biopsy accurately diagnoses infectious spondylodiscitis in most cases, offering a safer alternative to surgery. Further studies are recommended to define its full potential in diagnosing spinal infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Diagnostic Microbiology

    Context:

    • Infectious spondylodiscitis diagnosis presents challenges, often requiring invasive procedures.
    • Accurate bacteriological confirmation is crucial for effective treatment of spinal infections.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of needle aspiration biopsy for diagnosing infectious spondylodiscitis.
    • To compare the diagnostic yield of needle biopsy with surgical methods.

    Summary:

    • 193 needle aspiration biopsies of the spine were performed across 7 French Rheumatology Units.
    • Bacteria were identified in an average of 62.7% of cases, with some series achieving 80%.
    • The procedure was found to be safe, with no observed incidents or accidents.

    Impact:

    • Needle aspiration biopsy demonstrates superior results to direct surgical exposure for bacteriological diagnosis.
    • The findings support the broader adoption of needle biopsy as a primary diagnostic tool for suspected spondylodiscitis.
    • Further prospective studies are needed to precisely establish the method's value and limitations.
