Answers:
Vertebral osteomyelitis is infection in the vertebral body itself. These patients are systemically ill, exhibiting increased temperature, white blood cell and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The average time from onset of symptoms to definitive diagnosis has been reported to range from 8 weeks to 3 months. The onset is usually insidious, with back pain the most common symptom. The pain is localized at first to the level of the involved area, with a gradual increase in intensity. The pain eventually becomes so severe it is not relieved by complete bedrest.
