Spondylodiscitis in Pediatric Age: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

The clinical presentation of spondylodiscitis may be age-specific, with younger children often exhibiting subtle signs and symptoms. Broad-spectrum antibiotics covering for Staphylococcus aureus should be initiated as soon as possible and performed many weeks, being effective in treating the infection without clinical sequelae, even in patients with comorbidities. Surgical treatment should be reserved for complicated cases with neurologic involvement.
