Discitis accounts for nearly 2.2 of 100,000 populations and
its presence is an indicator for immunocompromisation,
as its risk factors includes diabetes mellitus, IV drug abuse
and hemodialysis. As disc nutrition is through diffusion
from end plates. So once you diagnose discitis you have
to search for immunocompromized agent asking for lab is
mandatory to manage medically is the best choice, unless
there is refractory pain or neurological deficits, following up
of patient by erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive
protein (CRP) first sign of improvement is decrease of CRP it
occurs in two weeks. In acute stage of inflammation surgical
intervention is not recommended but in chronic stage you
can manage it surgically. Discitis is a serious problem which
may cause death and it’s a vicious circle as risk factors are
immunocompromization and results are more compromising
most probably septicaemia or viraemia is the cause of death.
Most appropriate antibiotics should be selected for 3-6months;
intradiscal injection of antibiotics may decrease postoperative
discitis as proved by meta-analysis. How discitis happen, risk
factors, medical treatment, surgical, what to choose when you
choose.
