A case of staphylococcus spondylodiscitis with vertebral collapse and recurrent bacterial colonizations at pulmonary and gluteal level consequent on a septicaemic condition that arose as a result of a missed diagnosis is reported. The misleading factor was the pre-existing spondylarthrosis and marked osteoporosis.
