Additional Info
- Discitis or diskitis is an infection in the intervertebral disc space that affects different age groups. In adults it can lead to severe consequences such as sepsis or epidural abscess but can also spontaneously resolve, especially in children under 8 years of age
Template:Discussion moved the following from Vertebrae, osteomyelitis (bone infection); is that still how we want to do it? Ttenbergen 20:57, 2017 November 21 (CST)
- Discitis + antibiotics = Osteomyelitis
- Discitis + NO antibiotics = Osteoarthritis
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
