• W2916568049 abstract "OBJECTIVE Discitis and osteomyelitis are seen in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients due to repeated vascular access for hemodialysis and urinary tract infections leading to recurrent bacteremia. Discitis and osteomyelitis are underdiagnosed due to the nonspecific initial presentation of back pain. In this article, we review the literature for better understanding of the problem and the importance of early diagnosis by primary care physicians and nephrologists. In addition, we discuss the decision-making, follow-up, management, and neurological outcomes. METHODS A detailed PubMed search was performed using the following terms: “end stage renal disease (ESRD)” and “chronic renal failure (CRF),” combined with “spine infections,” “spondylodiscitis,” “discitis,” and “osteomyelitis.” Search results were limited to articles written in English, case reports, and case series from 1973 to 2012. Editorials, reviews, and commentaries were excluded. Only studies involving human patients were included. The authors also included 4 patients from their own patient population. RESULTS A total of 30 articles met the inclusion criteria. Including the 4 patients from the authors’ patient population, 212 patients with spine infections and maintenance dialysis were identified. The patients’ ages ranged from 38 to 78 years. The duration of dialysis ranged from a few days to 16 years. The time from onset of back pain to diagnosis ranged from 3 days to 6 months. The most common causative organism was Staphylococcus aureus , followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis and gram-negative bacteria. Most of the patients were treated with antibiotics alone (76.8%), although surgery was indicated when patients presented with neurological deficits (p < 0.011). Approximately one-quarter of the patients developed neurological deficits, with devastating consequences. Fever and neurological deficits at presentation, culture positive for methicillin-resistant S. aureus , and age > 65 years were highly correlated with mortality in our analysis. CONCLUSIONS Several risk factors lead to failure of antibiotics and progression of disease in patients with ESRD. Challenges to diagnosis include vague presenting symptoms, co-existing destructive spondyloarthropathy, poor immune response, chronic elevations of inflammatory markers, and recurrent bacteremia. Infectious processes are more likely to cause permanent neurological deficits than transient deficits. The authors recommend close observation and serial imaging of these patients for early signs of neurological deficits. Any signs of disease progression will require aggressive surgical debridement." @default.
