  • Title: Epidural abscess with associated spondylodiscitis following prostatic biopsy.
    Author: Dobson G, Cowie CJ, Holliman D.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2015 Jul; 97(5):e81-2. PubMed ID: 26264110.
    Abstract:
    Spondylodiscitis is often iatrogenic in nature. We report the case of a 69-year-old man presenting with spondylodiscitis and associated epidural abscess following transrectal ultrasonography guided prostate biopsy despite ciprofloxacin cover. To our knowledge, this is the first case of spondylodiscitis secondary to fluoroquinolone resistant Escherichia coli.
