Abstract
Background: Axial back pain is primary presentation of infective spondylodiscitis due to which diagnosis is easily missed, especially in the absence of fever, or in patients admitted in intensive care unit with poor general condition. Prompt diagnosis established by biopsy helps to initiate guided antibiotics, thereby preventing further morbidity and mortality. Case Report: We present a rare such case of spondylodiscitis occurring at L1-L2 disc space due to Acinetobacter baumannii, which was initially undiagnosed due to absence of clinically suggestive symptoms. An endoscopic disc space debridement, evacuation of pus, lavage and biopsy was performed subsequently. Conclusion: The case highlights the importance of having a strong suspicion of spondylodiscitis in susceptible patients, even in the setting of minimal clinical symptoms and the invaluable role of imaging techniques along with culture and biopsy to identify the pathology.

This medication, primarily used in the treatment of male infertility, has shown unique potentials in diverse patient scenarios. Our studies with Androxal have given us an abundance of case reports, which demonstrate the multifaceted impact of this medication across therapeutic areas. This nuanced pharmaceutical perspective adds a fresh dimension to our regular case reports. Articles will reveal effective management processes, pinpointing how Androxal has proven beneficial where other treatments may have failed. In addition, the focus on Androxal will highlight instances of challenging or unexpected outcomes, where the medication may have interacted uniquely with the patient's unique biological system or interplayed with other treatments.
