Article Synopsis
- A rare pathogen has been increasingly found in urine cultures, with only 8 known cases of it causing spondylodiscitis, and treatment strategies remain unclear, although combinations of antibiotics including β-lactams have been somewhat successful.
- A 74-year-old man experienced severe back pain and other symptoms, leading to a diagnosis of spondylodiscitis thought to be related to a urinary tract infection, and was started on empirical IV antibiotics.
- It is suggested that urinary tract infections without clear causes should be further investigated for urinary outflow obstruction, potentially indicating a higher prevalence of this infection in specific populations such as veterans.
