Abstract

Spondylodiscitis, an infection involving the vertebrae and interposed discs, can arise from hematogenous spread or from direct virulent inoculation during spinal surgery. Symptoms are non‑specific, with a subacute clinical course. Currently, the severe acute respiratory syndrome‑coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) pandemic has led to a further delay in diagnosis, with devastating consequences and complications. The present study presents a case series with the aim of describing the etiology, clinical characteristics and complications of the cases of spondylodiscitis observed. The present study is a single‑center retrospective case series of cases observed during the period from January 1 to June 30, 2022. Data were collected anonymously in an electronic spreadsheet. All patients signed a general informed consent to allow the anonymous use of their data upon admission. A total of 6 patients were admitted to hospital during the period of interest; 5 cases were primary cases (83.3%). During the same period in 2019, before the SARS‑CoV‑2 pandemics, only 2 cases of spondylodiscitis were diagnosed and treated, both primary infections. In 3 cases (50.0%) the infection only involved the lumbar vertebrae, in 2 cases (33.3%) it involved the dorsal and lumbar vertebrae, in 1 case it involved the localization was in the dorsal vertebrae (16.7%) and in another case, only the cervical vertebrae were involved (16.7%). Etiology was identified in a Gram‑positive germ [Staphylococcus sciuri, Streptococcus agalactiae, Enterococcus faecalis; methicillin‑resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)] in 4 cases (66.6%), and in both a Gram‑positive (MRSA) and a Gram‑negative germ (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) in 1 case (16.6%). Of note, 1 case remained undetermined (16.6%). In 2 cases, an endocarditis secondary to primary spondylodiscitis was also found. On the whole, spondylodiscitis is a rare infectious disease with a subacute course, the origin of which often remains unrecognized. During the SARS‑CoV‑2 pandemic, the diagnostic delay led to an increase of >300% in the diagnoses at the authors' center and a worsening of the prognosis.
