We report on a case of a 66 years-old patient suffering weight loss and lumbar pain, localized at L2-L3. A spondylodiscitis was revealed by CT and MRI; intervertebral disc puncture was positive for Pneumococcus Pneumoniae. The clinical evolution was good with the anti-bacterial treatment, while the patient developed a synostosis L2-L3. Incidence, bacteriology, imaging and therapy of spondylodicitis are discussed.
