Infectious hematogenous lumbar spondylodiscitis caused by Actinotignum schaalii in a 74-year-old man: A case report

• Haematogenous bacterial spondylodiscitis due to infection with a well-treatable but easily overlooked and often underdiagnosed pathogen. • An argument against short pedicle screw instrumentation, when urgent surgical therapy of the infected spine is required, in patients with PD and poor general c...
