Abstract
This publication presents a clinical case of infectious endocarditis in an adult male aged 60, with manifestation of the disease in the form of spondilodiscitis. The presented observation demonstrates the development of onset of infectious endocarditis of bacterial spondylodiscitis in the adult patient. For a long time the patient’s intensive pain in the lumbar region could not be connected with infective endocarditis. According to the results of the examination the changes in the spine were not evaluated as an onset of IE. Dynamic observation and control MRT study allowed for the conclusion about bacterial spondilodiscitis in our patient with IE and to connect these two processes. In such clinical cases, MRT of the spine or positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography using a radiopharmaceutical 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG- PET / CT) of the whole body is recommended. In the case of a specific spondilodiscitis, the continuation of antibacterial therapy is determined by signs of inflammatory activity on F-FDG-PET / CT or MRT of the spine.
