Abstract

Infectious spondylodiscitis results from local or haematogenous infection by microorganisms of intervertebral disc spaces, vertebral bodies and surrounding structures. Haematogenous invasion may follow urosepsis. We report on a case of septic spondylodiscitis following urosepsis with Proteus mirabilis, a frequently isolated microorganism in urinary tract infections but rarely in spondylodiscitis.
