Long-term outcome and therapy are reported in 29 patients with vertebral osteomyelitis. Antibiotics were administered for a mean period of 21 (6-102) weeks. In 13 patients surgery was additionally necessary. After a mean follow-up of 53 (10-136) months only one relapse had occurred. Radiographs and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were the best indicators of successful treatment.
