ABSTRACT

Se expone el caso de una paciente de 80 años que presentó deterioro del estado general, fiebre y dolor lumbar. Tras el proceso diagnóstico se observa espondilodiscitis con absceso paravertebral. Se repasan los aspectos principales de esta infección osteoarticular que afecta sobre todo a adultos de más de 50 años de edad, y cuyo diagnóstico se puede demorar al presentarse con una sintomatología general muy frecuente en pacientes de edad avanzada


We report the case of an 80-year-old woman who presented with general deterioration, fever and low back pain. Diagnostic tests revealed spondylodiscitis with a paravertebral abscess. The main features of this osteoarticular infection, which mainly affects adults over the age of 50 years old, are discussed. Because the symptoms of this process are highly frequent in the elderly, diagnosis can be delayed
