Epidemiology of Spinal Infection,can be due to various pyogenic organisms, granulomatous organisms such as tuberculosis and brucellosis, and rarely, parasitic or fungal organisms. The incidence of spondylodiscitis varies from region to region, with the incidence of pyogenic spondylodiscitis being more frequent in developed countrie

Nuclear medicine imaging can provide significant information, in addition to more conventional imaging techniques such as radiography and MRI. Nuclear medicine imaging (SPECT and PET) have shown high sensitivity and accuracy with regard to spinal infection diagnosis

Hematogeneous spread is by far the commonest route of spinal infection, due to the rich arterial supply of the vertebral body. PSD warrants early diagnosis and prompt treatment to p

The spine is the most common site of musculoskeletal involvement, followed by the sacroiliac joints. This chapter aims to
