Aim: To investigate how risk factors and reduced spinal mobility contribute to spinal infections arising from methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) bacteremia, known for increased mortality and diagnostic difficulties, especially in patients with septic shock or coma.
Methods: This retrospective study divided MSSA bacteremia patients into three groups: spinal infections (Group A, = 14), non-spinal/implant infections (Group B, = 24), and implant-related infections (Group C, = 21). Analyses focused on demographics, medical history, laboratory inflammatory markers at antibiotic initiation, and spinal pathologies detected by CT.
