Abstract

Pyogenic spondylitis (PS) is relatively rare. Its clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and early imaging findings lack distinct features, making it easily misdiagnosed as tuberculous spondylitis (TS). In February 2022, the Department of Orthopedics at Hebei Provincial People’s Hospital admitted a patient with PS. This paper presents the case details and reviews the relevant literature.
