Abstract Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a highly virulent and antimicrobial- resistant strain of staphylococcus aureus. It is a notorious and leading cause of bacteraemia that commonly leads to dissemination of infection to various organ, more frequently in immunocompromised or elderly group. Spondylodiscitis and paravertebral involvement are among the rare but serious complications of MRSA bacteraemia. Early detection and high suspicion are key to early intervention and may significantly improves patient’s prognosis. We report a case of 50 year old female with underlying diabetes mellitus, hypertension and end stage kidney disease who presented with infective gastrointestinal losses associated with lower back pain radiating to the lower limbs. Blood culture confirmed MRSA for which she was given intravenous vancomycin. MRI spine revealed T11, T12 infective spondylodiscitis with prevertebral, bilateral paravertebral and epidural extension, in favor of pyogenic infective process. Patient was managed by a multidisciplinary team of physician, orthopedic surgeon, nephrologist, physiotherapist and rehab medicine specialist. She was subsequently treated medically with daptomycin after autonomous decision from patient not for surgical intervention.
