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.
鼠咬热(RBF)是一种由鼠咬传播的具有挑战性的疾病诊断。我们报告了首例并发椎体骨髓炎的鼠咬热病例。考虑进行磁共振成像(MRI)以区分椎体骨髓炎和单纯背痛,从而确定抗生素治疗的合适疗程,这一点很重要。
