All patients were treated with a combination of oral antibiotics. Surgery was performed in 8 patients. Results: At least 6 months antibiotic therapy using Rifampicin and Doxycycline is recommended. Surgery is indicated in the presence of spinal instability, cord compression or radiculopathy. In our series eight patients required surgery.
