Overview
Spine x-ray, CT o MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of focal brucellosis infection. Findings of Pedro Pons sign can be suggestive of brucellic spondylitis.[1]
Other diagnostic studies
Spine x-ray, CT, MRI and scintigraphy may be helpful in the diagnosis of focal brucellosis infection, such as:[1][2]
- Brucellic spondylitis:
- Pedro Pons sign:
- Preferential erosion of the anterosuperior corner of lumbar vertebrae
- Osteophytosis
- Pedro Pons sign:
- Sacroiliitis
- Bursitis
- Osteomyelitis
- Meningitis
