Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

"Patients suspected of spinal infections, as per the American Infectious Diseases Society's 2015 criteria for primary vertebral osteomyelitis, were identified based on their clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and imaging examinations. All cases included in the study underwent laboratory examinations, histopathological examinations, and second-generation high-throughput sequencing (metagenomic sequencing)."

Exclusion Criteria

"The absence of laboratory examinations, histopathological examinations, and results from second-generation high-throughput sequencing (metagenomic sequencing)."
