Abstract
The presented case report concerns a 40-years-old man who was admitted to the infectiology department for back pain and elevated C-reactive protein, leading to suspicion of spondylodiscitis. Initially, the first lumbar spine MRI yielded negative results. Nevertheless, the patient was treated with Gentamicin followed by Ceftriaxone and Levofloxacin for a sepsis to Shewanella Algae. The second lumbar spine MRI on day 8 confirmed the diagnosis.
