Spondylodiscitis is an unusual diagnosis among children and consequent abscess formation is even rarer. A 6-year-old girl with fever, hip pain, and refusal to walk was evaluated. The neurologic examination was normal. Recurrent joint pain with cold weather, iron for anemia without improvement, and
A 9-month-old healthy female presented during winter to the emergency department with a chief complaint of fever and prominent respiratory symptoms. She was discharged on oseltamivir with a presumptive diagnosis of influenza. She returned to the emergency department 2 days later with continued fever
Psoas and spinal epidural abscesses are rare conditions that are infrequently found occurring simultaneously in the same patient. This case presents an 18-year-old female with diabetes mellitus who presented with fever and leg pain. Blood and urine cultures were positive for methicillin-resistant
A retrospective case series.The aim of this study was to report the immunosuppression and secondary bacterial infection after dengue viral infection and the predilection of these infections in the spine. This can trigger further research in to this fact. METHODS
Retrospective case series.
OBJECTIVE
To report the immunosuppression and secondary bacterial infection after dengue viral infection and the predilection of these infection in the spine. This can trigger further research in to this fact. The possibility of change in the sero type of Dengue

Spinal epidural abscess (SEA), a highly morbid and potentially lethal deep tissue infection of the central nervous system has more than tripled in incidence over the past decade. Early recognition at the point of initial clinical presentation may prevent irreversible neurologic injury or
Previous reports have recommended the use of a "classic triad" of fever, spine pain, and neurologic deficits to diagnose spinal epidural abscess (SEA); however, the prognosis for complete recovery is poor once these deficits are present. This retrospective case-control study investigates the impact
We report a case of cervical spine epidural abscess in a 50-year-old man with a 4-day history of neck pain but no neurologic deficits or fever. The patient had no predisposing risk factors such as recent spinal surgery, trauma, instrumentation, distal site of infection, immunosuppression, diabetes,
Vertebral osteomyelitis (VO), spondylodiscitis, and spinal epidural abscesses (SEA) are infectious and inflammatory processes impacting the spine that cause major morbidity and mortality. They require prolonged hospital stays with expensive treatment regimens. Along with acute Panspinal epidural abscesses are an extremely rare yet potentially fatal condition. Whether cases are best managed surgically or medically is currently controversial. A 63-year-old patient with diabetes presented initially with abdominal pain, back pain, urinary retention and constipation. He
Medical conditions predisposing to epidural abscess include diabetes, intravenous drug use, alcoholism, and other immunocompromised states. Although cirrhosis is associated with an increased risk of infection in general it has not previously been identified as a condition predisposing to epidural
