Pneumococcal vertebral osteomyelitis in an adult.

M S Gelfand, J H Miller.   

Abstract

We have presented the case of an adult with a chronic and indolent pneumococcal vertebral osteomyelitis, mimicking a malignancy and making diagnosis difficult. The increased frequency of relatively penicillin-resistant strains of pneumococci necessitates susceptibility testing and complicates the selection of antibiotic therapy for serious pneumococcal infections.
