Laboratory Findings

  • Diagnosis of vertebral osteomyelitis is often complicated due to the delay between the onset of the disease and the initial display of symptoms.
  • Before pursuing radiological methods of testing, physicians often order a full blood test to see how the patient's levels compare to normal blood levels in a healthy body.
  • Anomalous values that lie outside the acceptable ranges in any of these subcategories confirm the presence of infection in the body and indicate that further diagnostic measures are necessary.
  • Blood tests may prove inconclusive and may not serve as enough evidence to confirm the presence of vertebral osteomyelitis.
