Spinal infections occur as a result of either bacterial or fungal invasion of the spine. It is most commonly caused by staphylococcus aureus, as a result of direct contamination from surgery or trauma, spread from another infected site in the body, or through the bloodstream, or as a result of spinal procedures such as spinal injections or surgery. Early recognition and diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment. A thorough evaluation including blood tests, imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans, and obtaining a sample of the infected spinal fluid must be conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
