Management Outcomes after Image-Guided Percutaneous Biopsy for Suspected Vertebral Osteomyelitis-Discitis
Image-guided biopsy for vertebral osteomyelitis-discitis has a meaningful impact on management despite modest yield. Greatest management impact is seen with positive culture results, no prior culture source, and patients not on antibiotics at the time of biopsy. Biopsy culture yield is not affected by preceding antibiotics, and yield is greater with disc sampling and aspiration.
