摘要：

Bacterial infection of the spine is an uncommon disorder that causes the common symptom of back or neck pain. Prompt diagnosis and initiation of antimicrobial therapy are essential if patients are to avoid serious complications. What factors predispose some persons to vertebral osteomyelitis? Which imaging tools are most helpful in making the diagnosis and guiding biopsy or aspiration? The author answers these questions and discusses management options.
