The etiologic diagnosis of infectious discitis is improved by amplification‐based DNA analysis

1 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Blood cultures and cultures of disc material are required to identify and treat bacterial agents responsible for septic spondylodiscitis, but these methods have limited sensitivities. We undertook this study to compare nonculture amplification-based DNA analysis with conventional culture of disc aspirate. METHODS: Nineteen patients with spondylodiscitis, including 11 with a history of spinal surgery,...
