Vertebral osteomyelitis in patients with an underlying malignancy or chronic kidney disease – who is at higher risk for adverse outcome?

CoNS should be considered when starting empirical antibiotic treatment in VO ONCO patients. Moreover, oncological patients with VO caused by S.aureus should be monitored closely.
