Rat-bite fever complicated by vertebral osteomyelitis: A case report.

Ryota Sato1, Akira Kuriyama2, Michitaka Nasu3.   

Abstract

Rat-bite fever (RBF) is a challenging diagnosis transmitted by the bite of the rats. We present the first reported case of RBF complicated by vertebral osteomyelitis. It is important to consider performing the MRI to differentiate vertebral osteomyelitis from simple back pain to determine the appropriate duration of antibiotic therapy.
