Preferred Label : discitis;
MeSH definition : Inflammation of an INTERVERTEBRAL DISC or disk space which may lead to disk erosion.
Until recently, discitis has been defined as a nonbacterial inflammation and has been
attributed to aseptic processes (e.g., chemical reaction to an injected substance).
However, recent studies provide evidence that infection may be the initial cause,
but perhaps not the promoter, of most cases of discitis. Discitis has been diagnosed
in patients following discography, myelography, lumbar puncture, paravertebral injection,
and obstetrical epidural anesthesia. Discitis following chemonucleolysis (especially
with chymopapain) is attributed to chemical reaction by some and to introduction of
microorganisms by others.;
