| 中文描述 | 症狀可能不對稱。通常是由格蘭氏陽性菌如鏈球菌引起,但其他微生物也有分離到,包括布氏桿菌,在少數病例中則是分支桿菌。CSF通常正常因為病灶大部分在硬膜外。由症狀,放射線攝影或屍體解剖診斷。病灶影響椎體和相關的椎間盤稱為脊椎間盤發炎。 |
| 英文描述 | Signs may be asymmetric. Usually due to gram positive such as STREPTOCOCCUS, but other organisms have been isolated including BRUCELLA and MYCOBACTERIUM in rare cases. CSF is usually normal as the lesions are most commonly epidural. Dx by signs, radiography or necropsy. Lesions affecting the vertebral bodies and associated intervertebral disk are known as diskospondylitis. |
