Background: The aims of this study were to identify the predictive factors for microbiological diagnosis through disco-vertebral biopsy (DVB) in patients with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) and negative blood cultures, and compare the performance of DVB under fluoroscopic versus scanographic guidance.
Methods: We performed a cohort study comparing positive and negative DVB among patients with PVO. All cases of PVO undergoing a DVB for microbiological diagnosis in our center were retrospectively reviewed.
