Özet
A 59-year-old man presented to our hospital with a one-week history of fever and progressive lumbar and gluteal pain. He was a
farmer and had a previous medical history of lumbar disc hernia.
He mentioned that he lifted heavy loads. During the physical examination, his gluteal and lumbar joint movements were extremely restricted; thus, he was unable to actively move and walk due to severe
pain. Laboratory findings were as follows: white blood cells, 25.6
K/uL (n=4.5–11); neutrophils, 18.8 K/uL (n=1.8–7.3); alanine
aminotransferase, 139 U/L (n=0–55); aspartate aminotransferase,
113 U/L (n=5–34); C-reactive protein, 173.9 mg/L (n=0–5); erythrocyte sedimentation rate, 101 mm/h (n=0–15). He was admitted to the inpatient clinic with a presumptive diagnosis of lumbar
spondylodiscitis. After obtaining blood cultures, the intravenous
administration of 4×1.5-g ampicillin–sulbactam was initiated. The
Rose Bengal, Wright tube agglutination, and tuberculin skin tests
were negative.
