disc infection
The disc space following discectomy contains remnants of disc and, for several weeks after surgery, blood and other body fluid that is a perfect growth medium (environment) for bacteria and other microorganisms.
TIME
Disc infection is usually recognized only several days or even weeks after a lumbar microdiscectomy/
top
CAUSE
Three of the more important causes of disc infection following lumbar microdiscectomy are: 
1. intraoperative contamination 
2. post operative and 
3. from the blood
top
CONSEQUENCE
Patient\'s with disc infections are typically febrile (with fever).   Severe infections can be associated with exhaustion and diffuse aching.
Back pain sometimes accompanies a disc infection.
Untreated bacterial infection can lead to continued destruction of the disc space remnants as well as of the bone in the vertebral bodies above and below the disc space.   Some infections progress to shock and death.
top
MANAGEMENT
The patient with a disc space infection will typically need 3 months of intravenous (IV) antibiotics (usually requires a semi-permanent [removed on completion of course of treatment] catheter in a major vein such as the subclavian or cephalic).  
top
FREQUENCY
The frequency of disc infections is higher when sterile technique is poor (increased likelihood of intraoperative complications), post operative wound hygeine is suboptimal (drains get dirty and are not changed 
top
PREVENTION
With sterile technique and perioperative (before, during, and after surgery) antibiotics most patients avoid 
Post operative attention to the cleanliness and integrity of wound dressings.
Treatment of common post operative infections (pulmonary, bladder, sinus) prevents these from becoming the origin of blood borne bacterial emboli .

ho trovato anche un \"discite moniti\" latino, che: Discite Moniti! ( warning don\'t repeat this!)
\"Discite Moniti!\" cried Hahnemann in The Chronic Diseases (page 206) after he misused his new anti-psoric remedies in ignorance of their potential powers. Homoeopaths have always tried to learn from their mistakes and prevent others from repeating them.

... non credo faccia al caso tuo, ma l\'ho trovato e mi pare \"degno di nota\", sicché te lo riporto :)

discitis, diskitis


Explanation:
A mio avviso la risposta data da Luskie è validissima e
qesta mi risposta è meramente integrativa.

Discite in inglese può essere tradotto tanto con "discitis" che con "diskitis".

1) Gould-Chiampo. Diz, Encilopedico di Medicina, Zanichelli McGraw-Hill

discitis, diskitis = Inflammation of a disk, especially of an intravertebral or articular disk

2) Mario Lucchesi, Dizionario Medico IT<=> EN
discitis = discite: infiammazione di un disco o cartilagine intravertebrale o interarticolare, anche diskitis

diskitis : infiammazione di un disco intravertebrale.

Buon lavoro,
Giuseppe (Melecci)
