  • Title: Disc space infection: a case report with MRI diagnosis.
    Author: Morgenlander JC, Rozear MP.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1990 Oct; 42(4):983-6. PubMed ID: 2145732.
    Abstract:
    Vertebral disc space infection is an uncommon cause of back pain. Physical findings may be unimpressive and laboratory evaluation may only disclose an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Magnetic resonance imaging is particularly useful, since it reveals abnormalities earlier than plain radiographs and is more precise than bone scan.
