This paper reports a case of Bacteroides fragilis induced spondylitis. Diagnosis was confirmed through blood culture and metagenomic sequencing of pus for pathogen detection. Due to persistent lumbar pain, surgical intervention became imperative, resulting in favorable postoperative outcomes. A detailed patient history revealed a severe episode of oral ulceration two weeks before symptom onset, although a direct link to the infection remained elusive. Leveraging insights from this case, we conducted a comprehensive literature review on B. fragilis spondylitis, elucidating clinical manifestations, diagnostic methodologies, and therapeutic strategies.
