Given its nonspecific symptoms, such as fever and neck pain, early diagnosis is crucial to prevent severe complications, including spinal cord injury. We report a previously unreported case of acute CSPI arising from chronic paronychia, exploring its diagnostic and therapeutic challenges through a review of the current literature.

The use of intraventricular tigecycline in the treatment of colistin-resistant appears promising; however, appropriate dosage adjustments and evidence-based recommendations are needed.
