Infectious spondylodiscitis is a life-threatening disease and has some challenges in terms of diagnostic, differentiative, and therapeutic processes. Therefore, rapid and effective management of infectious spondylodiscitis is necessary. Hematological inflammation indices (HIIs) such as the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and aggregate index of systemic inflammation are derived from blood cells and used as diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and treatment monitoring indicators.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the differences between brucella spondylodiscitis, an infectious condition, and Modic type I changes (MC1), a non-infectious condition, using hematological inflammatory indices (HII) as potential diagnostic tools.
- A total of 35 patients with brucella spondylodiscitis and 37 with MC1 were analyzed, revealing that while the two groups were similar in various blood parameters, the brucella group had significantly lower pain duration, higher CRP and ESR levels, and lower platelet counts.
- The research found that HII such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio showed no significant differences between the groups, suggesting that

Co-infection with and has been rarely reported. To date, there are only two co-infection case reports from Croatia and China which diagnosed the infections mainly through the use of serological tests. In this report, we present the first case of molecularly confirmed bacteremia and spondylodiscitis co-infection in a goat dairy farmer who presented with lumbosacral spondylodiscitis and bilateral psoas abscesses.
