The mortality rate for spine infections ranges from 2-20% worldwide, and the diagnosis is often delayed by one to three months, requiring emergency treatment in some cases.
Age, chronic disease, intravenous drug use, and trauma are some of the risk factors for spine infections.
The main bacteria causing spine infections is Staphylococcus aureus, and hematogenous infection is the main route of infection. Symptoms include back, chest, or neck pain, neurological deficits, and signs of cord compression.
