Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
  • Spinal Infections
  • Pediatric Rheumatology

Background:

  • Spondylodiscitis, an inflammatory condition of the intervertebral disk space, is infrequently documented in pediatric populations.
  • The etiology is typically infectious, often affecting the lumbar spine and presenting with non-specific symptoms like lumbar pain, potentially radiating to lower extremities.
  • Radiological signs may be delayed for several weeks, complicating early diagnosis.
