https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2019.4.63-76

Abstract

Russian Association of Spine Surgeons
Russian Association of Neurosurgeons
National Association of Phthisiologists
Russian Society of Phthisiologists
A draft national clinical guidelines for spinal infectious lesions are submitted for discussion. Clinical guidelines are intended to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of infectious spondylitis and based on modern information about the pathology under consideration. The authors invite interested professionals to the discussion.
