The authors compared clinical and baseline parameters between @entity1 with @entity1511 (67 @entity1 ) and pyogenic @entity4034 (34 @entity1 ). The average age was 50.8 (range, 1 to 82 years). Males were slightly more predominant in both pyogenic and @entity281 . Seventy per cent of @entity1 with @entity281 had had symptoms for less than 3 months, while this was the case for only 44 per cent of the @entity378 @entity1 . Lumbar spine was the most common site of involvement. @entity281 were more commonly found in @entity281 . Thirty per cent of @entity378 spondylitic @entity1 were initially misdiagnosed, while 44 per cent of @entity1 with pyogenic @entity4034 had delayed diagnosis. Only 20 per cent and 30 per cent of @entity378 and pyogenic @entity1 had fever, respectively. @entity51 occurred more frequently in pyogenic than in @entity281 (79% vs 59%), while bowel bladder involvement was more commonly found in @entity1511 . Kyphosis was significantly more common in @entity378 than in @entity281 (50.8% vs 26.5%, respectively). Sinus tract formation, @entity733 formation and positive for SLRT (straight-leg-raising test) were found in only a small percentage of the @entity1 . Duration of symptoms, site, associated @entity281 , @entity1513 and @entity51 could be used for differentiation of spinal @entity281 .
