| diskitis | <pathology> This is a condition where there inflammation of the intervertebral disk space due to infection with viruses or the bacteria Staphylococcus.

Evaluation include history and physical examination. X-rays of the spine may show a narrowed disk space. MRI of the spine can show disk swelling. Other blood tests include a ESR (elevated) and CBC (elevated white blood cell count). A bone scan may also show increased uptake in the spine indicating inflammation. Treatment includes analgesics and antibiotics that are active against Staphylococcus bacteria. Recovery is generally uncomplicated. (27 Sep 1997) |
