Abstract
We treated 6 cases of vertebral osteomyelitis in this past 3 years. The characteristics are as follows; all cases were over 50 years old, 5 cases had other complications (diabetes melitis, etc), 3 cases were of the subacute type. The faster the CRP improved, the better was the prognosis. A sign of healing in MRI findings is a decrease in the low signal intensity area in sagittal T1-weighted images.
