Summary

This observational study will follow 50 patients with primary spondylodiscitis, a serious spinal infection, for one year. Researchers will track cure rates, pain levels, and daily function using standard treatments like antibiotics and braces. The goal is to understand how well current care works in a real hospital setting.
