Abstract:
Infectious diseases of spine (IDS) refer to a series of infectious diseases in different parts of the spine (vertebral body, intervertebral disc, appendix of vertebra, spinal canal, and adjacent paravertebral tissues) caused by various pathogenic microorganisms, accounting for about 2%~7% of systemic musculoskeletal system infections. According to the classic classification IDS can be divided into two types: specific infection and non-specific infection. IDS often has an insidious onset, atypical clinical manifestations, and less-specific imaging and laboratory tests, which causes great difficulties for the accurate diagnosis and treatment, often leading to missed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and even mistreatment. Problems such as disordered clinical diagnosis and treatment procedures, diverse treatment methods, and non-standard medication and course of treatment still affect the prognosis of IDS. This article reviews the current research progress of the diagnosis and treatment process of IDS, in order to further standardize the diagnosis and treatment process of IDS.
