Abstract
We report the case of a 59 years old male patient who presented to our clinic for a general syndrome, and after completing the study, he was diagnosed with pyogenic spondylodiscitis. The patient had undergone acupuncture treatments due to lasting back pain, and no other cause that could explain this infectious disease involving the spine, was evidenced. In addition, we review similar cases reported in the literature published up to date.
