Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a second needle biopsy in diagnosing spontaneous diskitis, particularly when initial blood cultures and biopsies returned negative results.
- Conducted between 2004 and 2014, the research included 63 patients, revealing that the first biopsy diagnosed 52% of cases, while the second biopsy confirmed diagnosis in 60% of those who underwent it.
- Findings indicated that prior antibiotic therapy was linked to negative results in the first biopsy, highlighting the potential importance of the timing and type of treatment received before the procedure.
