The Biopsy Site is Critical for Bacterial Culture After Percutaneous Biopsy in Patients with Pyogenic Spondylodiscitis
The course of disease, the elevation of CRP before puncture, and the site of puncture were the factors influencing the positive rate of bacterial culture in percutaneous biopsy of pyogenic spondylodiscitis patients. The positive rate of obtaining intervertebral disc in percutaneous puncture was significantly higher than that of vertebral body, suggesting that intervertebral disc is a more critical puncture site.
