Abstract
A transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy is a common diagnostic procedure which carries an expected risk of iatrogenic infections. These range from simple urinary tract infections to rare but serious infections requiring an admission to hospital. Here we present a rare case of vertebral osteomyelitis following a TRUS biopsy, with normal initial MRI and bone scintigraphy scans and delayed radiological findings on repeat MRI of the spine. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2018.
