Abstract
A 42 year-old farmer was transferred to our hospital for recently exaggerated lower back pain. Neurological examination revealed an L4 radiculopathy on the right side. Meningitis developed after admission. MRI showed L4-5 osteomyelitis and discitis with contiguous spinal epidural abscess and right psoas abscess. Blood culture and CSF culture both grew Staphylococcus aureus. Because the patient refused to receive a drainage procedure, we gave him antibiotics which resulted in a favorable outcome.
