Abstract

Spondylodiscitis is a potentially catastrophic complication in patients on hemodialysis. It is slow and insidious onset and nonspecific symptoms have contributed to the late detection of this infectious process. Here, we reviewed the clinical characteristics and outcomes for patients on hemodialysis who developed spondylodiscitis who were diagnosed with spondylodiscitis.
