O diagnóstico pode ser bastante difícil, devido à raridade da doença, à sintomatologia insidiosa e inespecífica e à alta prevalência de dor lombar na população geral. Descreve-se o caso clínico de um doente do sexo masculino, 59 anos, com dor abdominal nos quadrantes superiores e também desconforto lombar, acompanhada de mal-estar geral. O seu diagnóstico foi atrasado devido à ausência de achados na tomografia computorizada inicial. Trata-se de um caso que pretende alertar os profissionais de saúde para esta entidade. O diagnóstico é baseado sobretudo num elevado índice de suspeição. O tratamento conservador foi suficiente para a completa recuperação do paciente.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Spondylodiscitis is an inflammatory process, usually infectious, that accommodates intervertebral discs and associated vertebrae. The diagnosis can be quite difficult, due to the rarity of the disease, the insidious and nonspecific symptoms, and the high prevalence of low back pain in the general population. We present a case of a 59-year-old male with abdominal and low back pain, accompanied by poor general condition. Its diagnosis was delayed due to the lack of findings on the initial computed tomography. It is a case that alerts health professionals to this entity. The diagnosis is based mainly on a high index of suspicion. Conservative treatment was sufficient for a complete recovery of the patient.]]></p></abstract>
