Culture yield of 1st and 2nd biopsy in bacterial non-mycobacterial spondylodiscitis in a university hospital
The yield of the second biopsy is lower than that of the first biopsy but provides an additional diagnostic gain of 19.3%. Antibiotic therapy prior to DVB significantly decreases their yield. The utility of routine post-DVPB blood cultures appears to be limited.
